I have set them properly (I think) - by the mfr specs.  I'm using a
Princeton Graphics 17" Ultra 72, specs found at bottom of

http://www.princetongraphics.com/Products/Pages/Legacy/eo720p1.htm

I have tried modes 1024x768, 800x600 and depths of 24 and 16, all with the
same problem.

Thanks anyway

JM
