I've got the Xubuntu RC installed now and that has been working 
perfectly. Installation went smoothly, ATI driver installed OK also. 
The alpha 3 installaton has long gone, and I've had a hard disc failure 
since then, so even the disc has gone! The problem seems to have been 
solved in the RC though. I might even start using Xubuntu instead of 
Linux Mint!

Best wishes, Andrew Farrington
