Hi Rod


I had a look in the log, nothing obvious there, the last lines are

GetModeLine - scrn: 0 clock: 94500
GetModeLine - hdsp: 1024 hbeg: 1072 hend: 1168 httl: 1376
                vdsp: 768 vbeg: 769 vend: 772 vttl: 808 flags: 5
Which are repeated ~20 times.

It hasn't happened today yet, I'll have another look when it does.

Cheers

James
