I tried playing around with them, and it didn't have any effect. I could tell that it was having the change I expected, but I still was only able to see through that top slice of the screen. I'm not exactly super-familiar with the install. For what it's worth, the DragonFly installer seemed to be working fine, but then I didn't follow it through because HAMMER needs a 50GB space, etc. Nick G.

I've tried using safe mode, to no avail.
