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:

Comment 1 Ben Skeggs 2013-10-02 01:11:47 UTC
You have nomodeset in your kernel boot options...

Comment 2 Fred New 2013-10-03 17:24:51 UTC
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.
