Among yesterday's updates were xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-2.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-common-1.4.99.905-1.20080701.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-drv-vesa-2.0.0-1.fc9.i386 glx-utils-7.1-0.37.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-drv-glint-1.2.1-1.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.905-1.20080701.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.10-1.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-utils-7.4-1.fc9.i386 Presumably the problem is somewhere here.
