You should find something like this on your machine
       Subsection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "640x480" "320x240"
        EndSubSection

(not sure about "320x240".. just guessing since you said half screen! :-)

Change it to something like this.

       Subsection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "512x384" "320x240"
        EndSubSection

(you choose whichever resolutions you want... this is what I have on my
machine)

./filename.bin will extract the file

(you may need to do a chmod +x filename.bin first though)
