I've just built the latest unichrome, restart xorg and it seems to be
running 1360x768 happily!!!  I can't actually see the display as I'm
running over SSH, but I'll check when I get home.  If it's all working, I
shall be ordering my Samsung 40" LCD soon! :)

Luc, thank you so much for the help.  I makes a change to have a user
group that really tries to help rather than flaming people for asking the
same questions over and over again!

Once I get my system finished, I'll put up a HOW-TO and include the trick
of half-building xorg!

Chris.
