Thanks Doc,

I verified this first off with locate (after updating the database).  The MAN page
is pretty specific about the order in which XF86Config files are executed.
No config files exist in /root.

In fact I know the same config file is used by all users (root included), since
when I change the display resolution in  /etc/X11/XF86Config the X startup log
displayed on the terminal screens at F1,F2 etc always reflects the change

Next step will be to remove VMWare, since it doesn't work anyway! It coughs up a
persistant internal monitor error, which I've logged.
Cross fingers VMWare fixes it in the next release....

Stuart.
