Chris,

Thank you for your reply. I did just add a KVM prior to installing F10. I
didn't think it would be an issue but I think that might be the culprit.
When I get home I'll remove it and see what happens. If that is the case -
is there a way around it? Or can I remove it, reconfigure X, and
re-install the KVM?

Thanks again.

Jack
