OK, the journalctl -k just showed the "Invalid ROM contents" lines in red
font. But, the /var/log showed "loading" of r128 and then fbdevbw and
then "unloading" them and then EE-"screens found, but none have usable
configuration" and then "Fatal error no screens found."

I again tried "sudo service lightdm start" . . . and then when that just
brought the same blackish screen I tried "stop" and then "start" . . . is
it handled by "lightdm" or "gdm" or something else?

I'm back in OSX 10.5 to type this email out on the PM.
