OK, I can now get to tty consoles again (had to edit out VGA= in
menu.lst - the machine is still using grub1) from the desktop + gdm. I
still have to use autologin to get to the desktop, but from there I can
now Ctrl-Alt-F1-6 to get to the console, console login (root through all
users), stop gdm, start gdm, Crtl-Alt-F1 back to the console. From there
I can also change between autologin & user menu by modifying
/etc/gdm/custom.cfg.
