Thanks Florian, am on another machine at the moment, but tried those commands which you supplied to another on the list. I never had any problems with <vesa> previously, but tried <via> which is what it is. Killed X started X again, and nothing had changed. My xorg.conf was still the same but returned to <vesa> after the reboot. I will have to google the method that has been posted on this list to have xorg.conf stick after modifications were made it. I actually think that my graphics card might be slowly getting crook.
