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.
