This an xorg-server issue or something else?  Cause I just posted bout
this issue (see f12 to rawhide upgrade), and ran into same sort of
problem, although mixed results.



Prior to Christmas I had two separate problems

a) Plymouth graphic boot needed to be escaped to text mode at boot
b) The intel driver didn't work (even if plymouth did)

Both problems exhibit somewhat the same outcome - you get to gdm login and just get a cursor.

The intel driver problem lasted for all of the 2.6.32 kernels from F12 to rawhide

With the newer 2.6.33 kernels I've seen the both problems come and go. For instance, there were a few 2.6.33 kernels where the intel driver worked as long as you hit escape to get past the plymouth problem.

With the current rawhide kernel (kernel-2.6.33-0.20.rc5.git0.fc13) both problems are resolved.
