Xwindow not working after install of Fedora 19?

[Michael D. Setzer II]

Had booted an older Lenovo R51 notebook with the Live ISO, and 
the login worked, and then went thru the clean installation on the 
hard disk. Install seemed to go thru just fine, but after the login 
screen go thru login and password, and get a black screen with 
Fedora graphic at bottom.

The Xorg.1.log shows this message lines that seem to be the 
issue.

Fatal server error:
[   617.643] (EE) no screens found(EE) 
[   617.643] (EE)

Have saved the complete Xorg.1.log file, and also tried running a 
full yum update that included about 500+ updates.  Still doesn't 
log in.

Also, installed xfce to see if using that instead of gnome would 
work, but no change.

Machine seems to work fine from the terminal session just fine?

Xorg.n.log (where n is the display number)

Are you sure your X is starting on display :1?

The default X server in Fedora will start on display :0 so the log file you 
should be looking at is Xorg.0.log.

Xfce & GMD, I hope you're kidding. :)

# yum install lightdm
# systemctl enable lightdm --force
# systemctl start lightdm

Thanks. That did get it working with both the Xfce and gnome.

Still not clear on why it worked when booting from the image file, 
but not from the installed hard drive?
