Damn - Wish I'd known that sooner. . . .

Hell Yes !

Tried the "Classic" version of Quake 1.30 under OS X.1,
threw my monitor into an unuseable mode as well.

Ok -> I got drastic; after a re-install of 10.1 didn't fix the issue
(esp. after trying all the original "tricks" to restore a useable monitor)

SO - I did a TOTAL clean install. Reformatted the drive, 10.0.4 all the way to 10.1
That fixed it & took plenty of time to do.
And killed my address book/user prefs/dock apps & totchkes

Sigh.

Great tip - tho. Thanks in hindsight.

p.s. Hey Apple, how bout a key combo that "unconditionally quits the frontmost app
and returns the user to the Finder (ideally in a safe monitor resolution)" for OS X ?
Keying blind really sucks serious ass.
