Exactly how I have it.  If I change the modes list to only include
1280x1024, I end up with a virtual desktop bigger than the monitor.

Weird, eh!?!

What was stranger is that if I try to use any modelines other than the
driver native ones, the display falls apart and I can only get 640x480
in a corner of the screen, which isn't really what I'm after!!!!????!!!!

I've attached my xorg.conf file for general perusal.  Don't know if you
can spot anything strange in there...

The USB CDwriter I got a the worthing BCF works great by the
way.  Great idea aren't they!!

Cheers
