Well, nothing showed up in the log.
Things change as soon as the GRUB2 menu is past it's process off. I
searched for video, mirror, clone, resolution and everything I could. I
didn't find anything about the change in video.
I have not had time yet to look at how to change the boot process to
single step to find which process is changing the screen setting.
I don't have my notes handy.
Part of me is thinking of waiting for F19 and doing a clean install
again to see what happens. I may do that on a partition for testing.
On the other hand, it would be worth knowing to make sure it doesn't
happen to others.

Yesterday I spent some time and many reboots trying to troubleshoot this
problem. No success.
I cannot find out how to make Fedora 18 go into "Interactive Boot" that
used to happen when you pressed the "i" on boot. I just crashed my
system trying to do that.
Any pointers on getting an interactive boot screen?
The screen boots to fast to see the changes. I tried to video the boot
sequence and I do know that the screen changes before the boot sequence
displays "Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow)".
The problem happens before
I did find one conflict with xorg-vesa-drv and nouveau but I removed
xorg-vesa-drv and the problem is still there.
I am almost at a point of doing a re-install but with F19 is just around
the corner and hopefully a clean install that will fix the problem.
Not worth the time to work in this anymore.
