Michael,
Not sure I can do that with a spin live DVD image. When I try to edit the
boot initiation code by typing "e" I see:
getparams 'Start Fedora-MATE-Compiz-Live 29'
linuxfi /images/pxeboot root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-MATE-Live-29-1-2
read.live.img
initdefi /images/pxeboot/initrd.img
I don't see where grub-style editing is supported on a live DVD image.

It looks like youre set to edit the boot-code.
do cursor keys not let you select the linuxefi line ??
if they do, add a 2 at end of linuxefi line, it puts you to non-graphical boot
once you do, can you report the absence of /sys/class/drm/* ?
so far, none of my boots of the f29 kernels fill this dir, (on my
32bit core 2 duo vintage box)
this caused window managers to fail hard.
gdm just locked up.
lightdm was a bit better, but got screen resolution wrong - minimal
res, huge pointer, fonts
what worked for me was a locally built kernel, localmodconfig, after
copying /boot/config-mumble-f29 to .config
this gets screen res correct
