The friday yum update of xorg hangs my fc4/x86_64 system. (tyan k8e,
asus radeon x300se pcie). If I do an interactive startup and stop
hitting <cr> sometime after sshd I can ssh in and look around. If I
then try to do an "Xorg -configure" as root, the system hangs. The
hang is definitely X related. Things worked just fine before the most
recent yum update.

How does one back this xorg update out and prevent it from coming back
the next time yum runs?
