Thanks again, this command give no return at all. I now realise the vdeo options I listed are not for the device but for the plugins, the device options are greyed out , but reads unsupported. Can I assume that I don't have any xv ports and this is the problem. Is the obvious starting point to load the Matrox drivers, which I haven't done as except for the Skype issue, everything seems to be working fine.
