Were your symptoms like mine or did you hit a different problem?
Have you found or created a bugzilla entry for your problem?
I hope to get the time to do the bugzilla thing (i.e. add to a previous report or create a new one) in the next couple of days.
I found that I could get my system up and running by reverting two packages. I guessed that they depend on each other so I reverted both: xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.3-13.fc10.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-13.fc10.x86_64 The previous version was 1.5.3-6.fc10.
Do you know if you can mix and match different levels of xorg-x11-server-common and xorg-x11-server-Xorg? server-Xorg requires server-common, and not the reverse, but I don't know how to query about version constraints.
I fetched the old versions from koji. Handy facility: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=74390
You can see the change history from the new version's koji page: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=82838 If I had to guess which change caused the problem, I'd pick this one:
* Mon Dec 22 2008 Adam Jackson ajax@redhat.com 1.5.3-8 - xserver-1.5.3-aspect-me-harder.patch: Fix mode selection when only one monitor is present and it doesn't claim a preferred mode. - xserver-1.5.0-bad-fbdev-thats-mine.patch: Do the same for sbus that we do for pci. - xserver-1.5.0-hide-cursor.patch: Backport fixes to unhide logic from master.
