Dude!  Sorry to have initially dismissed your suggestion.  It did linger 
in the back of my mind, and it turns out you were so right.

I knew I had gone into bios (Advanced Chipset Settings, or there abouts) 
to set "CRT + TV", and that had worked well under FC4.  But under FC5, 
it didn't.  Switching to "CRT" only was all that was needed to get this 
working.

Thanks a lot,
