oh sorry - I didn't notice this was a personal message, thought it was on the bug ticket ;)
It's my work machine, and it was not in a good state when I left it on thursday (friday was a holiday for me) - I think I need to re-install it having done something which means I can't get X to start at all anymore, no matter what driver I attempt to use, it will hang the local machine, meaning I have to SSH in, or completly crash the box! Meh...
