Rawhide: latest Xorg updates screw my system with cirrus driver

[Antonio M]

I made a general update of an old system with F11 and now the Xserver
doesn't start any more:
I get this errors:

This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.

I can start in text mode and system works.

How do I recover and how can I start with Vesa driver??

I will file a bug tonight.

It looks like the "cirrus" driver isn't compatible with the version of
X you are running. Do you have the latest version of xorg-x11-drv-cirrus
installed? It may be that something blocked the update of that package
and that you need to do some manual cleanup.

And if it's indeed the latest version, then it needs fixing fairly quickly,
as cirrus is used in QEMU and derivatives (Xen, KVM).

already assigned.

This bug afflicted me many times during various fedora releases,
sometimes X server when updates is not compatible with driber (same
problem with intel driver!!). Unfortunately I have two machines with
cirrus and intel... :-)
