[NTLUG:Discuss] mandrake 9.1 GUI logout shutdown and reboot problem

[fredjame]

I am using LILO, but I assume the process would be essentially the 
same.  But one question:  Would that effect the resolution of the Gnome 
display as well, or just the logout/shutdown stuff?  As a side note, if 
I "shutdown -h now" or "shotdown -r now" in a terminal window, the 
graphic display of the shutdown/startup messages appear just as they 
would if the logout/shutdown GUI worked.
