Created attachment 804375 [details] Xorg.0.log Description of problem: I (can't) get no graphical satisfaction on my new HP Envy 17 laptop with an Nvidia GeForce GT 750M. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.9-1.fc19.x86_64 kernel-3.11.1-200.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: I only tried installing Fedora 19 once, but the system consistently reboots without graphics. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F19 (to dual boot with Windows 8). 2. Boot. Actual results: The plymouth graphical screen appears and then goes away as expected, leaving a list of boot messages when I would expect a graphical login prompt. Virtual consoles are available. Expected results: Additional info: # lspci | egrep -i 'vga|nvidia' 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1) # lsmod | egrep -i 'nouveau|i915' nouveau 943445 0 i915 651861 2 mxm_wmi 12865 1 nouveau ttm 79865 1 nouveau i2c_algo_bit 13257 2 i915,nouveau drm_kms_helper 50239 2 i915,nouveau drm 274480 4 ttm,i915,drm_kms_helper,nouveau i2c_core 34242 7 drm,i915,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,nouveau,videodev video 19104 2 i915,nouveau wmi 18697 3 hp_wmi,mxm_wmi,nouveau
You have nomodeset in your kernel boot options...
Could I reopen this? Anaconda must have determined that nomodeset was necessary and, in fact, if I remove nomodeset from the boot parameters, the plymouth screen doesn't appear nor do my virtual consoles. All I get is a brief flash of garbled colors when GRUB turns control over to the kernel. The system boots normally, and SSH and <Ctrl><Alt><Del> work fine even though I can't see anything.
