Update#2: Now, when I boot into Linux (the boot is now in X), I appear to only have perhaps 640x480 on screen. The Login window is larger than my screen! When I do ctrl-alt-plus, the screen is unreadable (garbled - sort of looks like three columns of grey garbage). When I find where the log file is, I'll post it.
