boot process hangs/stalls on graphical screen with 3 blocks illuminated.
startx works at least partly
which means X, not wayland, I guess.
FWIW, this is a vga monitor.
there are some odd resolution switches during boot
and Dell logo gets 4 interleaved ghosts on screen during part of these switches.
maybe corroborating failure to read any monitor resolution
I have some recollection of seeing discussion of switching display
managers,
Im gonna look at that next, hints welcome.
I managed to switch to lightdm.
boots to graphical screen, at LOW resolution (same big mouse/pointer)
but usable, at least a little bit.
Im gonna try a different monitor soon.
but I think im stuck with vga on box
