Thanks for the suggestions guys. Luckily I've got an Nvdia card, but 
alas I tried setting x to 16bit but it didn't fix the problem.


having messed around trying to install cedegacvs (but can't get it to 
compile under FC4), I'm back with wine20050725.
Something I didn't notice at first, is that if I set X to 16bit colour 
depth, the XRandX error changes to:

fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 
16 to 32    <-  was '..from 32 to 16'


seems I can't win here.
