I've just got the logwatch report for that box.  Among yesterday's updates 
were

xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-2.fc9.i386
xorg-x11-server-common-1.4.99.905-1.20080701.fc9.i386
xorg-x11-drv-vesa-2.0.0-1.fc9.i386
glx-utils-7.1-0.37.fc9.i386
xorg-x11-drv-glint-1.2.1-1.fc9.i386
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.905-1.20080701.fc9.i386
xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.10-1.fc9.i386
xorg-x11-utils-7.4-1.fc9.i386

Presumably the problem is somewhere here.
