Thanks to Chmouel for his quick turn around on this.
I have manually installed & configured the version of XFree3 on the 7.2
CD and it appears to cure the problem. It looks like the version of 4
which ships is in some way incompatable with the ATI Rage Mobility P
card in the Dell. Since I'm marking exams right now, I can do some
testing for you if you have something you want to try to fix it :-)
Also, belatedly, I have to report that the intall went almost perfectly
- the test of the X config worked OK but when it returned to the
installer, the video was messed up (the image on the LCD was broken and
rolling). I guess this should have warned me :-).
Overall, the 7.2 installer is a big improvement on the previous
incarnations (have done 6 machines so far with it).
Thanks again,
/Kevin
