Hi, Well, re-enabling gdm was required before the reboot, to ensure it came back up with a graphical login - as I said, the 3400 doesn't do text mode very well if the resolution gets played with, and I've been left with a machine with flashing boxes instead of text a few times too many. I have rebooted a few times since, including a "reboot -- -r", but I'm not certain the boot archive has been properly rebuilt, so I'm looking into that now.
