Will do Steve. I've learned a lot though doing this. I'm sure I'll trip 
up again, but I'll get a lot further on my own first.

The native resolution is 480p (854x480). That's fine for Myth, but if I 
want to do a quick browse in firefox or something then it's just too 
low. I set beryl up on the machine too and couldn't even see the full 
window of options when I was running 800x600. 1024 look much better all 
round.

Thanks again for your help and for the 255 logging tip.
