[Jon Eliot <jon.stromme@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A rather major ooops for this version: logout causes severe trouble for 
gdm, which eventually tries to make an X screen in low resolution mode 
(which does not hit my laptop screen).
Killing all X and gdm processes does not fix things, the same happens 
again after /etc/init.d/gdm start.

Timing seems to have changed in 185.18.14, it may be that gdm is 
proceeding when the driver is not yet ready. The Nvidia splash symbol 
appears, very briefly.

I will stick to this version anyway - who needs logout when 
suspend/hibernate both work?

Rgds, Jon Eliot
