Hmm.. I never thought of that. What I did think about was using the 
xorg.conf file from FC3, which works fine, and just typing that in using 
pico(it's much shorter than the output from Haory).

Weird how the install of Hoary did not detect my monitor, nor did the 
live CD. I wonder if the Dev team are aware of this and will have it 
sorted for April?
