Just to make sure I'm being clear: I also don't have a problem with high
resolution if I'm using UMS. It's only with KMS that it's a problem. I don't
know enough to judge whether the bandwidth demands would be expected to be
higher under KMS than UMS.

I will try these tomorrow morning. Thanks for your suggestions.
