libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/i915_dri.so ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You appear to either have the wrong libGL installed from an older release of X. The libGL included in Mesa in Fedora Core 5 and all later builds loads the DRI drivers from %{_libdir}/dri directly, and does not load them from /usr/X11R6. The following should help you to find all libGL's installed on your system: find / -name "libGL.*" Uninstall or delete all of them, and reinstall the official Red Hat mesa-libGL package from rawhide. Once you have the correct libGL installed, it will try to load the drivers from /usr/lib/dri
Updating summary, this apparently has nothing to do with either graphical login or compositing.
Unable to repro with FC6t3 or later. Reporter, after checking the instructions from comment #2, please reopen if this is still an issue for you.
