I ran into the same issue after upgrading last night, no X (ATI Radeon card). I ran system-config-display - -reconfig to get back in, then uninstalled all fglrx stuff, rebooted, then downloaded and installed ATI's proprietary drivers to see if that would help. After running aticonfig I still wasn't happy, couldn't get 1600x1200 on my external LCD, checked the new xorg.conf generated by aticonfig, it was missing all alternate resolutions. I cut and pasted my old resolutions from my saved xorg file in, restarted X, and it's a joy to behold, the ATI panel allows me to set up for 1600x1200, GNOME works well. Question regarding glxgears - what exactly do the results mean - with stock drivers from FC5 I get 1200+ FPS but can't get 1600x1200 resolution, with the ATI driver I'm only getting 500 to 600 FPS, yet I'm pleased with my screen otherwise - I don't play games and don't see much need for 3D etc. so am not too concerned. New rule for me - make sure I have backup copies of all my conf etc files before any future upgrades, and never do a kernel upgrade until a week has gone by and I have a better understanding of all the issues involved. I also saw the wisdom of not booting into a desktop automatically, especially after a kernel upgrade.
