Yes its an EPIA M10000 board.  I've found a view sites with suggested cables
so I'll give it a shot.  You don't have a pointer to what worked for you?

Do you know of any specific trickery in either the BIOS or video setup that
is required.  I'm using Minimyth on this frontend, has anyone done this
using that distibution?

Thanks
Stephen.
