Did you run lilo after modifying your lilo.conf? (This is the obvious
step. You might have missed something less obvious.)
You can also try this out by pressing Alt or something at boot to get
the LILO boot: prompt, and type something like "linux vga=ask" there.

APM support can be in a 2.0.27 kernel if it's compiled in.
Recompiling your kernel isn't too bad, if you make sure you have all
the information about all your hardware and use "make menuconfig" or
"make xconfig". make-kpkg is supposed to make it easier too, although
I haven't used it.
