Instead of trying to figure out which old versions of the kernel I had
that didn't work, I decided to pull the latest Fedora liveCD 20140407
running kernel 3.11.10-301-fc20.

It didn't work either. While earlier kernels made the screen completely
useless with lots of jumbled colors, F20 would at least show the
outlines of the desktops and menus with jumbled colors throughout the
monitor.

So whatever the bug, I think it is fairly safe to say it is also
upstream in Fedora. Unless someone else has another idea, I might try
pestering the Fedora guys.

Thanks!
