Modifying the GRUB bootup line to get rid of "rhgb" and substituting
"3" (don't know if this is necessary?), gives me a (real fast!) text

tcp pops me into X/KDE no problem; but ONLY if the "load dri" is
commented out.  If it is present, then it locks up just like the
graphical boot.

I am going to try the .411 kernel from testing/arjan tonight and see if
this fixes anything... Something weird with how the X server is called
from the boot sequence?


The 411 version kernel might not work at all for GUI. There is supposed
to be a later version out, with the correction of the introduced bug. I
believe the next kernel number is 419.



Oh boy, it sure didn't... much much worse... can't get into X at all now... X server bails.


The kernel I see in arjan is now 414... Does this have a fix?

http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=707 is the bug report I
have added to it. Add more useful data to it if you have it. I would
love to see this fixed.






I believe the fix was in the next version. I think that I pulled from memory the wrong rev number (419). 414 is probably correct.
If you want to check the fedora-test-list archives, it was a recent discussion. It should be easy to find the discussion, even without a search.
