this is because the startmol/molpatching scripts are broken.  one of
the things i fixed... (i am tempted to throw out these awful scripts
and rewrite them from scratch)

you need to recompile the modules to get around this.  the scripts try
and install them with insmod -f (which personally i find very icky)
which may or may not work.  personally i think its a bad idea to use
mismatched modules.  

use lsmod to see if the modules loaded or not.

follow its advice and run `molvconfig'  it basically trys different
resolutions and asks if you see the pattern properly.  its just like
an eye doctor visit "is this better or this?" ;-)
