Your complaint is exactly the same as a local friend of mine, a
long-time Linux user who also used a T42 for a long time. He actually
retrofitted a tall screen onto a (I believe) T61, which he runs at
2000xsomething. I'll forward your e-mail to him so he can respond with
instructions, if he wants. He probably will respond, as he is at least
as annoyed by widescreens as you are.
