I downloaded Peter's 4.5.0-rc2 kernel, installed it, and updated my yaboot.conf but still the same issue. But honestly I could have missed something when configuring my system to boot from his newer kernel. Planning to look at that again here this evening and peruse some logs to see what pops out at me. 

If nothing else I will re-install Jessie, download and install Peter's 4.5.0-rc2 kernel, and then complete the upgrade to stretch and continue booting from that same kernel. Will post my results when I can. 

Thanks Brock

I decided to bite the bullet and do a fresh jessie install; I was thinking of doing the same as you. If I make progress before you, I'll let you know.

Hi Brock

Upgrading to stretch from a fresh jessie install with 4.5.0-rc2 kernel installed worked fine. :-)

xfce4 display settings is recognising both monitors but the second (which is different resolution to the mac screen) still won't come up. But at least the non-booting problem is solved.

I'm going to mess around with xrandr to try to get dual head working.

Regards

Clive
