I was adding a string, and rebooted. Now my graphics are terrible, and refresh rate on screen is all jumpy.

Not sure whay happened. Could someone have a look at my plist and advise if I'm missing something?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>IGPEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>0</string>
<key>HDEFLayoutID</key>
<string>01000000</string>
<key>HDAEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

</dict>
</plist>

Note:
Code:
Speedy-OSX:Downloads RehabMan$ plutil -lint Boot.plist 
Boot.plist: Found non-key inside <dict> at line 13

It is easy to see that the value for the "Kernel Flags" key is missing.

Corrected:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
	<key>IGPEnabler</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
        <string></string>
	<key>UseKernelCache</key> 
	<string>No</string>
	<key>Legacy Logo</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Timeout</key>
	<string>0</string>
    <key>HDEFLayoutID</key>
    <string>01000000</string>
    <key>HDAEnabler</key>
    <string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Of course, you'll need to restore the value you were previously using for "Kernel Flags" (depends on hardware).
