This is the initial xorg.conf that I found on the system.
Created attachment 139676 [details]
This is the current xorg.conf that seems to work.
I resolved the issue by disabling the smart card driver (pcscd) in system-config-services (I don't have any smart card devices attached so no problem for me). As first boot after install was ok - didn't think to look at config files! How on earth would pcscd cause this? Can you attach X server logs from attempting to start X with and without pcscd running? I have exactly the same problem. After the reboot, when X starts you can see it for an instant before the screen goes blank and the monitor eventually complains "Scan out of range."

config file created manually with menu system.
I am attaching yet another xorg.conf file created on the subject system by yet another method. This time, I went through the admin menu system on the display and selected the display vendor and model. Interesting in that the xorg.conf file now carries information on horizontal and vertical refresh that wasn't in either of the prior uploaded config files. Just a note. Running through the admin menu system for the display seems to have produced a config file that will work correctly through multiple reboots. I did have problems with the config file that was uploaded (ID = 139676) later on. That is why I tried using the menu system. This appears to be holding on OK. Hopefully, a diff between the config files will show something lacking from one to the other, and lead somebody to what is preventing a fully fleshed out config file.

It might, but you've only attached one config file, and no log files. Please attach the config and log files from both a successful and unsuccessful startup.
