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...

Thanks anyway :)
