  Same on the mini. This works fine with Nvidia cards. I guess it's not 
detecting the original settings correctly.

  I've not tried that.

  I found that glxgears would lock up the server, though if I built it 
and hacked it to run a frame at a time it would be fine :-(

  Oh, didn't test that. Shouldn't be too hard to find/fix - I'll look
