Hello

Below is the result of running the lspci command as
you suggested.

I'm not a Linux techie - so I don't know how I would
go about selecting or playing around with video
drivers - I just take the packages offered by up2date
or do an occassional apt-get update / upgrade to pull
everything in.

I appreciate that Fedora is a bit more bleeding edge
than RedHat. If we assume for now the problem is video
/ X, where do I go to look for help?

Thanks

Clive
