Simon, Trent, Mike:
Thank you very much for the rich, detailed, interesting
theories and explanations about video drivers, booting,

All this knowledge and experience is obviously worth a

Hi
I played some more with the parameters you suggested be

In the final analysis it seems that only two (2) are CRITICAL:
