After upgrading from F18 to F19 using fedup, I was getting a segfault starting Xorg[1]. It turns out my case seemed almost identical to another case[2], but since they seemed to be from separate drivers I filed a separate bug. The catalyst driver also did not work for me, but for an entirely different reason. (My ASUS laptop has a Radeon HD 7730M) I didn't have time to look into it further at that point, so I just filed the bug and did weekly yum upgrades, hoping a package would get fixed or bumped that would fix my problem. As of today, that still had not happened and no one had responded to my bug report. Having a bit of free time, I decided to look into it. Since the stack trace seemed to indicate the mesa-dri-drivers were at fault (I accidentally forgot the stack trace in the bug report, but it is almost identical to that in [2], replacing sis_drv with radeon_dri), I rebuilt the latest from git and tried that. After replacing the old version with the newly built radeon_dri.so, I was able to boot into X without a problem.
The latest mesa in the repos still does not solve this problem, so I just wanted to bring it to the maintainer's attention that an update for this package should probably be expedited.
Best regards,
