The CTRL-ALT3-F3 got me a basic black-and-white login prompt. I logged in as root, and typed in "startx". I got a bunch of messages, ending with "Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.". I shut down. I booted up. I got ***no*** screen with the option to enter and edit bios. I got ***no*** grub menu. But I got a bunch of long thick white lines in seemingly random places, and of seemingly random length. I eventually got winter lake scene with a login gui. I was able to log in as root, launch Thunderbird, and mail the Xorg log to myself. Since I haven't yet done the post-upgrade tasks, I then shut down, and booted back into windows-7, where I am now. I did also see strange display behavior in windows this evening, but only within Firefox: blocks of black. The Xorg log is below, beneath the line of '='. Is there a simple way to test the graphics card, either from Fedora or from windows-7? Thank-you, Sam and Ed.
