You may be seeing this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462606 which seems to be
caused by upgrading to Xorg 1.5. Note that one contributor suggests
trying a minimal xorg.conf. I haven't tried this but I'm about to.

If it doesn't work, you can regress to an earlier version of Xorg by
installing it via rpm (with the --oldpackage option). I did this
yesterday to be able to use my system. Let me know if you need help with
this.
