Thanks Kev. I think it must be a bug. The F10 does the job.

Dave what graphics card are you using.. mine is a Nvidia Gforce FX5700Ve... might be something to do with the drivers of the card.

OK I have solved my own problem ....
(This bit I had done before) but for you, you need to enable the screens and graphics menu...
system... preferences....main menu...in left hand panel, go to"other"... then enable by ticking screens & graphics. then close and go to applications other and the new menu should display
here, instead of selecting my actual monitor type ( Viewsonic VG700b) I chose the lcd panel 1080x1024 the res I wanted... in your case choose monitor and select the one with the res you want... then follow prompts and see it that gets you the menu at the bottom of the longin screen ....I did not change my video card settings so it seems to be a monitor thing or in my case LCD
hope this works fingers crossed for you. cheers from Bunbury WA Australia by the way
