Dear Flip, I have had trouble with video drivers for various flavours of Linux. If if driver is not working then, as you say, you just cannot do anything after booting normally. You need to boot the machine in a safe mode or single user mode (init 1). You can then edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config

In my experience when going from XDS via some intermediate file to mtz format, XDS uses in some cases a different reciprocal asymmetric unit as mtz uses, which may result in only half of the reflections being used and/or ccp4 programs getting confused. By using UNIQUE, one makes sure that the

Usually, I run CAD first after F2MTZ to make sure that the reflections are in the correct reciprocal asymmetric unit for CCP4 programs. I think, UNIQUE on its own doesn't do this, but the UNIQUEIFY script calls CAD, UNIQUE and FREERFLAG for setting a FreeR_flag column. The latter may or
