During today's searches, I realized that I have not done a full look through the boot sequence to see when the screen changes from single to mirrored(cloned) from single screen.
I will check dmesg closer tomorrow at work.
Grep is your friend, here, although you do need to know whether to look for mirrored or for clone. You may want to give the same treatment to /var/log/boot.log while you're at it.
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.
