Shane - thanks for your help, but....... I tried again with Xconfigurator, I've tried CTX1451 (my monitor) and also Custom 800x600 56Hz (no option for 800x600 60Hz). Screen still not right - its almost there, I can see some of the icons etc., but something is not quite right. Also I get the error msg "No valid MMIO address in PCI config space" when returning to the prompt. Any help much appreciated..........
