I must be getting stubborn in my years, so I did another install but
swapped out the MX440SE video card for a Matrox G550. I don't think
that actually was the problem, nor am I sure if there was one other than
me :-P , but I installed with a 15" lcd and then swapped it for a 17"
lcd. Not the slickest tool, but sax2 did the job.
Thanks all for the support.
