My Latitude D810 was not affected by the original bug, but your report
means that I'll be applying no further undates until the GX270 is working
again.

I opened the following bug for the GX270 X-related bug(s).
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476578

There are 2 iterations of Xorg.0.log files attached.  The first is
from the original problem.  That had some d-bus problems that were
solved by the latest PolicyKit update, but the underlying X-related
problems remained.

Hopefully Ajax can analyze/fix this one sometime soon.
Al

Toma,

My Dell GX270 is an Intel GPU.  It appears that in the first week of
December something broke (or exposed an existing bug that broke)
either the X-windows server or lots of drivers.

If you type "a" during the boot sequence and then append a "3" to the
grub command line you can log into your system in text (non-X) mode.
"yum update" from the command line will install all ready updates...
unfortunately there isn't one yet that fixes this problem.

All I can advise is patience.  The good news is that enough folks are
broken 100% of the time that ajax and crew should be able to track
down and fix this problem (perhaps after the holidays).

I'm lucky that my other two Linux installs are on ATI GPUs, but using
the VESA driver (which isn't accelerated and does not seem to be
affected).

Good luck,
Al
All

Try reinstall the driver for your ATI. Then change the driver name in
xorg.conf file from VESA to ATI < driver name. After that switch to
level 5 via init 5 command.
