Since it appeared the boot process was complete except for starting X I tried doing ssh from another box and was able to log on and start system-config-display. As I couldn't remember exactly what the video "card" was -- it's some onboard thing on the motherboard -- I tried each of the two video card options that seemed familiar: nv (the nvidia options) and intel (Intel integrated graphics chipsets.) The "nv" option didn't work -- the boot hung as before. But with "intel" I was able to get the login screen and my desktop. The problem is that now my highest resolution is 1024 X 768 and I'd like to have the my old higher resolutions (like 1280 X 1024) back. How do I do this?
