Okay.  The DVI port works.  Indeed, it all looks more crisp now.  I
tried an album in both Picasa & F-Spot.  Photo's come up clear - I
think, on first blush they're okay in both applications.

The problem is/was confined to when I start I slideshow, as both
applications make available.

In the case of Picasa as soon as slideshow gets going the edges of
images blur.  "Dither" I think is the correct word.

In the case of Ubuntu's F-Spot the slideshow is very slow.  It takes a
while to form the image.  Once done it is fine.

It seems to me that in both cases the program has to think too hard what
to do??

Any thoughts please.
