Adam & Vedran,

I did a from-scratch 64-bit F12b installation from DVD last night, so I
can't go back and look for anything from that F12a -> F12b upgrade that
didn't work. The good news is that X now works in the fresh install.
There are some other problems I need to document separately.

'lspci -nn'

No xorg.conf file here. (Note to self: after all the effort I went
through in the old days to learn how to customize xf86.conf, I really
need to pop the hood on this new server and figure out how it works.)
