    I got smart and looked at an older grub.conf and found that what you 
really want is the "rhgb quiet" so I mounted my boot partition to this 
one and added the rhgb to both kernel's. Then I reboot and it came up 
with the little picture of a computer and you see nothing going on. Very 
nice and it came up just like it should but for one little problem, the 
arrow on the pointer is no longer there :-(

    Had to use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a place I could mount the boot 
partition and erase the rhgb and now the pointer is back fine.

    No idea what rhgb does but it seems to bypass the reading of my 
added fixes in xorg.
