Thanks Florian, am on another machine at the moment, but tried those commands 
which you supplied to another on the list.

I never had any problems with <vesa> previously, but tried <via> which is what 
it is.

Killed X started X again, and nothing had changed. My xorg.conf was still the 
same but returned to <vesa> after the reboot. I will have to google the 
method that has been posted on this list to have xorg.conf stick after 
modifications were made it.

I actually think that my graphics card might be slowly getting crook.

Thanks again,
Charlie
