Yep, thanks Colin, I caught that also after I wrote my email.  That's 
what I get for copying Felix's email.  ;-)

It didn't work though, but I did test the different screen sizes which 
do work up to 1024x768 at least.  Wonder if it would do wide screen 
sizes also?  hmmm, will try that.

Now, are you talking about calling the command from the loader screen or 
after you've booted up?  I will try it both ways to test, then I'll 
report back.

Pat
