Thanks!  I manually edited /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
to remove the nomodeset options, and that fixed the problem.
I then removed it from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub,
so hopefully it won't re-appear.

That leaves the question is where did this come from in the first place?
I did a clean install of Fedora 18.  However, I did have a few older
partitions on the disk, and perhaps the Fedora 18 installer used
data from those other partitions to initialize /etc/default/grub.
Sees strange, but that is all I can think of.  Unless there is a
bug in the Fedora 18 installer ...
