Yes I remembered, after posting that last message, that the Netscape icons 
issue was likely to be a more generic problem as we had the same problem 
with the millennium's in 24 bit mode (solved in that case by going to 32) but 
the i810 driver doesn't support 32 and we have several applications that don't 
like 16bit mode so we probably won't be buying these boxes this time round.
