[F19Alpha] No gdm without "nomodeset"

[Ankur Sinha]

Hi,

Seems to be caused by some update.

I reinstalled F19Alpha, and everything worked properly. Updating the system
brought it back to the above state. I see a couple of xorg-* and other
video related updates. I'm trying to downgrade them one at a time to see if
that fixes anything.
