 That was it!   Thanks...


 Now - I have another problem... previously, when I clicked on the image,
it would reset my X server and become "full screen".  Now it doesn't,
but it selects a video mode that is about 1/3 screen size.  Also, it
seems to have some banding (that is, part of the image isn't quite
correct, filled with verticle black bands.)

 I'm guessing I haven't got some mode defined in my X server that needs
to be there...  but, I thought I would mention it.


	Thanks again for the tip!
