That must have been a reboot, if I understand the question correctly.

I changed the config and executed those commands (as root since apparently user is not in sudoers), and it fixed both display and functionality.
Thanks!
Was one of those a hidden setting or all just options available from the GUI?
Why did it not work before?

Another question entirely, if I may (feel free to ignore this bit):
I notice that you added a new application for Fremantle very recently, which makes me think you're still actively using your N900 - is it possible to get e.g. Email working safely (openssl, tls versions etc., I've been reading up on this here on TMO)? I know that the browser is more or less out, but I'd like to be able to
- check my mail
- listen to podcasts (gPodder throws a tls error)
- sync calendar/contacts
securely.
