I performed a fresh install of Fedora 9. System booted to user final steps menu, but screen locked when X booted for user logon. I have to boot in text mode and run startx manually. System worked fine under Fedora 8. lspci and xorg output attached.

Lovely crash in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_master_drv.so(I830WaitLpRing+0x1c1)
Created attachment 310872 [details] Xorg log for failed boot attempt using xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-2.fc9.x86_64
I updated to xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-2.fc9.x86_64 to see if that would resolve my issue. X no longer failed silently, but instead displayed smeared screen, then reset, smeared screen, reset, repeat. If I boot into run mode 3 and startx, it works fine. Latest xorg log attached.
This bug may be a dupe of 446620. Booting without rhgb gets me into runlevel 5 as expected, and it leaves the video memory uncached.
Could this be related to the Foxconn/AMI BIOS issues? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/251338
