(I think just need to hit 'Tab' to edit the boot line) Thanks. I read that bug report, but this is different, my screen ends up completely blue with no text on it at all. Not garbled, blank. I did try the resolution line anyway, and there was no difference. > If that doesn't help, you might try downloading the latest Live image > from http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ and see if that's any different. Just did it. No different. I was able to tease some more information out of the stdout and logfile though. There were lots of errors about the font path and missing directories. Could it be trying to find fonts suitable for that resolution or aspect ratio and failing? The error at the end is "could not open default font 'fixed'" Shortly before that, though is "error while retrieving Xinerama information". However some people suggested changing the xorg.conf to disable Composite. That gets rid of the Xinerama error, but all the font failures still happen.
