Many thanks, Martin; I fixed this earlier on by using the mga driver instead
of vesa, and yes it was the correct config file :)

I didn't get 1280x1024, but I _did_ get 1152x864, which I'm happy with.

Xorg.0.log tells me "Not using default mode "1280x1024" (insufficient
memory for mode)" which I'm slightly surprised about, but since it seems
so emphatic about it, and 1152x864 will do me nicely, I'm inclined to take
its word for it.

By the way, the list seems to be playing up .. I responded to Michael's
question about DVD reauthoring last night, as I've tinkered with this very
successfully myself over the last couple of months, but my reply hasn't hit
the list yet for some reason.

Cheers
James
