Wow, did a rawhide update today catching up two days worth and on reboot got a double blurred screen at what looked like 640x320 resolution. On an alternate terminal looked at xorg.conf and saw that in the device section that radeon had been replaced by fbdev. Fixed and restarted X and all was well.

What changed this? Will file a bz, but against what? There was no mention of an xorg.conf change during the update and a review of the yum.log doesn't show anything except several mesa component updates and compiz update. Would one of those change xorg.conf?

Start with kudzu, we can go from there. What arch, hardware, etc?

Problem confirmed on a second system with radeon graphics card.

Both x86, both ASUS P4C800 Deluxe mobos with Radeon 9200 cards in AGP slot. Second system has two radeon cards, AGP and PCI, 9200s. Both are rawhide updated thru today.

I believe kudzu could be the culprit since I watched the second system upgrade and checked xorg.conf after the upgrade and **before** rebooting and it had **not** been changed. After reboot on second system, X wouldn't start at all but at least got a message saying so which allowed root logon and found fbdev in the Device section of xorg.conf and the original xorg.conf saved as xorg.conf.backup. Fixed and rebooted, came up fine this time.
