Hi,
On my laptop, after F12 updates-testing update today, after reboot F
logo shows but then the screen goes dark and starts flickering between
various shades of dark (changing modes?) with intel graphics chipset
(GM965/GL960). I'm only using 1024x768 resolution. Nomodeset or using
a previous kernel didn't help. Booting to runlevel 3 and running
system-config-display (--reconfig) resulted in the same.
I've worked around the issue by "yum history undo 1" which rolled
back a couple of hundred packages.
Any idea which package could be the culprit and I should file a bug
against or to isolate it? Somehow I don't think this is necessarily
an Xorg base or driver issue.
I'd start with xorg-x11-drv-intel. Update to the package set that
caused the problem, then for the bug report attach the output of
'dmesg', your entire /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, and the output of 'lspci
-nv'. Also indicate your kernel version, the version of
xorg-x11-server-Xorg, and the version of xorg-x11-drv-intel.
