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.

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.
