Thanks for that page. I've now tracked the problem down to being  
related with the integrated Geforce2 MX graphics card. I'm on Feisty  
and in xorg.conf it was using the 'nv' driver which I can't seem to  
get to give me the correct resolution. Installing nvidia-glx and  
running nvidia-settings let me choose the correct resolution, however  
the computer kept hang and the graphical display was very corrupted.  
Found bug reports, it seems to be a regression between Edgy and  
Feisty, right now I'm download Gutsy tribe 5 in the hope it's been  
sorted.
