An update to this, I think I have more of a problem than was apparrent 
before.

I have now connected a screen but nothing is sent to it either in the 
consle or if I try and run x.

Bios and early boot messages get displayed and the last message is 
"waiting for dev to be fully populated".

When gdm starts, I get loads of error messages from the neuvo video driver.

Incidently, I did a fresh install with the same outcome but during the 
installation, the display was normal.

If I try and run X-configure I get "the number of screens did not match 
the number of devices exiting".

I assume I am right in thinking that x is not going to work unless I am 
getting some output to the screen?

Thanks
Keith
