The problem. I can NOT change my screen resolution from GUI. I boot to
multi-user, then get "into" graphical.
First, some background.
My original install of CentOS 8 -- maybe 8.2? -- about 3 months ago --
went pretty well but I kept having lockup issues. No issues with
graphics using intel graphics or sound using either aplay at command
line or GDM. (I also have NVIDIA which I have not configured.)
I upgraded to 8.3 at some point. Still all OK with graphics but still
lock up issues.
At some point, I decided to start completely over and did a clean
install of 8.4. I am now using CentOS8 Stream as my primary repo.
Some questions?
When I first boot, where is the probe of my video card done? Looking at
DMESG, I couldn't determine this.
When I "start" graphical, I get the following messages which are
apparently related, from Xorg.1.log module loading section...

From messages I've seen on this problem, the lack of
/dev/dri/card0
is the crux of the issue but I have NO idea of how it gets created.
So, right now I'm stuck at a default resolution of 1024 x 768
Thanks for any help.
