Thanks Bruce
I'll give it a try.  But I think you agree that this shouldn't happen to
begin with...correct.  I checked with the graphics settings.  The
settings are 1024 X 768 at 75hz...I don't have anyother option for the
sync frequency...Iwould like to try 60 and 70Hz to test it but the
option doesn't exist in the GUI config window.

Now I adjusted this before in a config file for the res. of the graphic
display...where and what was that file again?


Do you have any idea what would cause this to happen during boot....I
can understand when the GUI kicks in ...but not during boot?
