Re: Stuck in 800x600
May I suggest that you reset the nvram as OS X may have left it in mambo to
see if this fixes the problem. At boot time, press Option-Command-N-V until
you hear the chime and the machine reboots, then let go. The machine will
reboot to the first OS it finds (unless you press option) as you lost your
OF patches and env-vars, in case that matters... Re-enable them accordingly.
