Thanks Gabriel,

a) I didn't know these 2 ways of getting at what was installed, they'll 
be a great help in the future!
b) it appears that about the only thing that might have caused problems 
is an install of kernel-2.6.35.12-88.fc14.x86_64 & its associated 
bits... (I'd downloaded the 2 xorg packages on 5 April & as far as I can 
remember I hadn't rebooted since then....)
I'd been trying to get "enough stuff" to be able to play Windoze 
compatible CDs & DVDs so maybe something in there bit me!

Anyway, thanks for your input, I'm back to a working system again & with 
a number of tricks to keep me going for a while!

Cheers

Dave
