Hi Chris, my X1600 ATI Radeon vid card. Ive checked the forums and there 
seems to be an issue with ATI. As I'm not familiar with command lines I 
figure I will need help. I do plan on going to the next LUG meeting, but 
if the discs arrive before then I wont wait. Patience has never been one 
of my strong points.

Thank you for your quick response, James
