Both my old HP boxes have F40 up-to-date. Both are connected to an HDMI
tv and vga monitor, but the one dual-booted with Windows has a fixed
800x600 screen size that appears only on the HDMI screen but lacks HDMI
audio. I reinstalled the (Fedora provided) nouveau driver on both boxes
before these reboots. The boot lines shown give running systems. Most
variants that I have tried freeze sooner or later.
I still have no idea of how to pre-specify the devices that I want to use.
It's not clear to me whether you're trying to solve a video problem, an audio
problem, or both, or whether the answers apply to both hosts, or just one.
Good luck with your audio. Getting Linux audio to me is inexplicable hocus
pocus.
Thank you for the various diagnostic quotes from your system. My main
reason for posting was to provide info about settings that worked for
me, because I find testing of systems that fail to boot frustrating.
I have removed xorg-x11-drv-nouveau from the dual-boot box, and applied
today's upgrades. It still seems to need "nomodeset" to boot to a
working system, still 800x600 and only on the HDMI screen, with line-out
audio. Specifying "modesetting" starts well, with both screens active
in text mode; but then it jumps to graphical memory images, and shortly
after the cursor appears it, and then the whole system, freezes.
Continuing....
John
