I had incorrectly entered a VideoRAM value of 33008 (wrongly
calculated in my head : 32 x 1024) instead of 32768 for the
VideoRAM value of the "Device" section for the Matrox G550
Video Driver Card.
When I corrected this the ugly black stripes disappeared.
Apologies for any unnecessary concern.
regards,
James
