    Having put 9.2 on a number of different systems now I have come across a
    common install 'difficulty' when it comes to getting sensible screen
    geometry refresh rates etc. On 1 occasion, after the initial boot screen
    the installer switched to an unsupported resolution so I couldn't see
    what was going on, and on another, the default screen was also
    unsupported so that when the system switched into 'use' mode at the end
    of the install I had a blank screen. (Both systems installed 9.0
    flawlessly).

    Having sorted out those issues, I then found adjusting the screen
    geometry an nightmare. Adjusting the size interacted with adjusting the
    position, and the final result, as shown using the Sax 'test' button,
    bore no relation to the results on a reboot. (Yes I did save them).

    Definitely a far worse experience than either 8.2 or 9.0!
