Thanks - this is *good* news, now I know I'm not alone!  It'll also save 
me the trouble of trying to put a video of my monitor up on YouTube for 
all to see the noisy picture :)  I can believe that despite trying 
different resolutions I was stuck with 1024x768 as well; the mouse 
pointer didn't appear to get any bigger.

I'm assuming that's an LCD on analogue rather than DVI (can't even 
remember if the G450 can cope with DVI)?

PS: For now I've managed to get the vesa driver to play nice (for some 
very slow definition of nice).

Cheers,
