Ok guys, I'm finally up and running again. Had a problem with MEPIS, which simply would not install again without losing all my display devices, so decided to give Ubuntu another go. I've now got 5.10 installed and after downloading several packages I now have v1.12 of BlitzMax running well. Thanks for all the advice in this thread, as it aided me getting everything running (as did the sticky HOWTO thread at the top of this forum).
The latest version of BlitzMax also seems to have resolved the previous issue I was having with full-screen apps crashing on exit, but you'll see a thread about that later today for you guys to test and put my mind at rest.
Thanks peeps!
