Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
         at http://wiki.X.Org
 for help. 
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

I can confirm this on an Asus M5N series notebook (Intel 855GME chipset).

I attach the diff of the Xorg.0.log from working to non working.

Diff from Xorg.0.log (working) to Xorg.0.log (not working)

Attached is the diff of Xorg.0.log from working to non-working. The
kernel-versions is different between the two logfiles, however, the problem is
reproducable with three different kernels (two customs, based on 1398_FC4 and
1555_FC5, and offical 1398_FC4).

I have encountered a similar problem on my x86_64 system, with an Nvidia 5500
series card and the Nvidia proprietary driver.  The X server reports that it
cannot load glx and returns a signal 11 error.  If I change the driver from
"nvidia" to "nv" X will start.

Update:  Re-running the Nvidia installer fixed the problem.

Same problem here on a Sharp laptop that has the i945 video chipset.

same problem while upgrading from xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.45 to
xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1 , using i810 driver for ->
 product: 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller
it crashes all our computer labs, 100 machines :-( .
solution downgrade xorg, but not very convenient .

As a reference to Intel video cards which are not effected by this bug, I tested
out the latest rpms for FC3 and again for FC4 on a computer with an Intel 815
video card. This card did not fail and worked for both FC3 and FC4 version of
xorg-x11.
These cards are the lower cards and do not have features that the Intel 830 and
above are capable of. The breakage is more likely related to these extra
capabilities that the better video cards can achieve.

Adding to CC: I have an Intel 865G on another computer5 and still have
xorg-x11-6.8.2-37 installed and it is working alright. Holding off until this
problem is resolved for the 865G.

I have a thinkpad x40 (Intel 82852/855GM video) with the identical problem:

"After installing the latest x11-xorg updates for Fedora Core 4, I can't boot
into it anymore. The screen gets garbled, and I can't do anything with the
computer."

I am trying to figure out how to downgrade.  Any advice (with specific commands)
would be appreciated.

You have two options you can try. The first opton is to keep the new xorg-x11
rpms installed and to instead change your driver from i810 to vesa in the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
The other option is to mount the media which contains the RPMS from the original
installation discs. Change to the directory that contains the rpms and then as
root try to run 
rpm -Uvh xorg*.<arch>.rpm --oldpackage
the <arch> should be changed to i386, ppc or whatever arch you are running.

To find out all rpms which are needed to downgrade your xorg-x11 installation.
rpm -qa |grep xorg 
should show all of the xorg related packages, including the font packages. You
can put the older packages from the CDs into a seperate directory on your hard
drive if the packages span across several CDs to overcome any dep errors.
