Thanks for the help.

My packages from the update are:
deltarpm-3.5-0.4.20090913git.fc11.1
pam-devel-1.0.91-9.fc11
libsidplay-1.36.57-21.fc11
authconfig-gtk-6.0.0-2.fc11
vte-0.20.5-2.fc11
authconfig-6.0.0-2.fc11
pam-1.0.91-9.fc11

I looked over them, and none of them would affect graphics setup.

But this morning it seems my Quake 4 is working again !!!
I'm thinking it was a temporary video card issue, or other hardware

Thanks for your help & I learned another Linux command.
One day I'll have enough experience to actually contribute back.

I'm still deciding on how to contribute back.
I'm kinda hesitant to begin any task, since starting anything seems
very tough, and would require a lot of commitment.

I guess they're all excuses, but hey.
New Years Resolutions are just around the corner, and I'm finalizing
my Bash Scripts that help with my Dungeons & Dragons game...

Thanks again

Update broke my Quake 4 game ...

Brilliant tips! I need to do this for some problem updates on a few 
machines in a few hours time, and I had no idea how to find recently 
installed packages, I read the list and the answer is here! See the 
power of open source!
