That would fit - it's definitely a graphics issue.

The install for Edubuntu seemed like a 800x800 res in a 800x600 window - ie
the bottom third was missing, so I couldn't selet options properly.  I think
it had a graphics selection in the install - I'll watch out for that next
time.

The live version went like a TV with the horizontal synch missing/wrong !!!
