Can you not specify this when you boot? I haven't in a while so I don't remember exactly, but I think if you look at the help/options screen when you're at the boot loader, you'll see you can specify resolution and refresh rate settings. It should be easy to specify the resolution you want :-) (yes, for X) Specifying refresh rate and resolution might help on the machine that gave you the black screen too? Don't be too quick to discount it until you've had a decent play :-) Cheers, Gareth
