After the recent updates of the Xorg common packages, or kernel I did at the same time, I need to try the login several time. After the start of the system, the login screen appears, I select my user, type the password then the screen flashes and I'm back to the gdm login screen. After few attempts, up to 7 or 8, but the number is not always the same, I finally succeed. I have signed the testing repositories and all the packages are at the last version. The error messages I receive are in the /var/log/messages ... Jul 20 10:25:51 nbvolpi kernel: i2c-adapter i2c-1: unable to read EDID block.

I'm having the same problem on my EeePC 901, although I'm not sure that it is connected to the xorg-x11-drv-intel package. The latest round of yum updates have left me with a broken X server - plymouth works fine, leaving me at the GDM login screen. No matter how many times I attempt to login, X crashes and leaves me back at the GDM screen. The X packages that were included in the recent yum update are: Jul 19 21:51:43 Updated: xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.2-2.fc11.i586 Jul 19 21:51:46 Updated: xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.4-15.fc11.noarch Jul 19 21:55:07 Updated: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.2-2.fc11.i586 Jul 19 21:55:39 Updated: xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.1.2-1.fc11.i586 Jul 19 21:56:20 Updated: xorg-x11-server-Xephyr-1.6.2-2.fc11.i586 Jul 19 21:56:21 Updated: xorg-x11-server-Xnest-1.6.2-2.fc11.i586 and the updated kernel packages were Jul 19 21:52:03 Updated: kernel-firmware-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.noarch Jul 19 21:53:21 Updated: kernel-headers-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586 Jul 19 21:53:51 Installed: kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686 Jul 19 21:56:19 Installed: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686 The backtrace left in Xorg.0.log is: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x812d14b] 1: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x9e) [0x80c06de] 2: [0xb5a400] 3: /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so(intelDestroyContext+0x104) [0x570388] 4: /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so [0x552476] 5: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so [0x9c8009] 6: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so(__glXFreeContext+0x91) [0x9bc151] 7: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so [0x9bc577] 8: /usr/bin/Xorg(CallCallbacks+0x56) [0x808acc6] 9: /usr/bin/Xorg(CloseDownClient+0x67) [0x8080cd7] 10: /usr/bin/Xorg(Dispatch+0x1d8) [0x8086378] 11: /usr/bin/Xorg(main+0x395) [0x806baf5] 12: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x126a66] 13: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x806afa1] The only (EE) errors shown in the Xorg.0.log file are several entries like: (EE) intel(0): max_gtt_map_size: 61865kb. Let me know if there is any other information you need to help track down this problem.
Rolling back to the following version from koji has fixed xorg for me: xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.1.901-5.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.1.901-5.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-Xnest-1.6.1.901-5.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-Xephyr-1.6.1.901-5.fc11.i586 I'd also add that restarting the x server every time it crashes isnt a very good idea. In this case it simply drops you back to the gdm login screen each time. The logic seems to be "ooh look, x has crashed, lets restart it. ooh look, its crashed again, lets restart it ... and again and again and again". Awesome. This gives no clue to the user whats going on at all.
The problem has disappeared disabling the desktop effects. stable login, bad looking desktop. I've the impression these reports are almost ignored.

No, but we spent more time on fixing the bugs than deduplicating them? (no, really, we were a little bit overwhelmed with duplicates of this crash) Could you please try with the latest packages for xorg-x11-server, xorg-x11-drv-intel, mesa, and kernel from koji? Thank you
I've updated to the latest koji builds for F11, and I'm still seeing this crash. I'm unlikely to switch to the rawhide ride to fix this - downgrading back to the koji build of the xorg-x11-server- packages as listed in comment #2 gives me a usable xorg. I can try future koji F11 builds (particularly builds of xorg-x11-server- packages). The koji builds I tried are: kernel: 2.6.29.6-217.2.4 xorg-x11-server: 1.6.2-3 xorg-x11-drv-intel: 2.7.0-7 mesa: 7.6-0.2

Packages in: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=131217 fix it for me on x86-64
Ditto Comment #9, seems all good so far.
I also have this behaviour after the updates that were pushed yesterday. If compiz starts, Xorg segfaults. This with an acer aspire 1644wlmi with an intel i915. The packages that I've updated yesterday were: Sep 10 10:50:18 Updated: xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.3-4.fc11.i586 Sep 10 10:50:46 Updated: xorg-x11-server-devel-1.6.3-4.fc11.i586 Sep 10 10:50:47 Updated: libXext-1.0.99.1-3.fc11.i586 Sep 10 10:50:48 Updated: libdrm-2.4.11-2.fc11.i586 Sep 10 10:52:08 Updated: xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-7.1.fc11.i586 Sep 10 10:52:10 Updated: libdrm-devel-2.4.11-2.fc11.i586 Sep 10 10:52:13 Updated: libXext-devel-1.0.99.1-3.fc11.i586 Sep 10 10:52:13 Updated: xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.2.5-1.fc11.i586 Sep 10 10:52:15 Updated: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.3-4.fc11.i586 Before these updates compiz worked. I'll try to rollback these packages to find what is the package that made the difference.

Simply rolling back xorg-x11-server-Xorg (to 1.6.1.901-1.fc11) avoids the crash for me. I'm on x86_64 arch, however. This on a Lenovo 3000 N200.
I've installed (only) the new xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.6.4 rc1 packages: xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.4-0.1.fc11.i586.rpm xorg-x11-server-devel-1.6.4-0.1.fc11.i586.rpm xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4-0.1.fc11.i586.rpm and I re-enabled compiz without Xorg segfaults.
The latest koji builds for xorg-x11-server-* from comment #9 and the latest koji kernel have fixed things for me. Xorg no longer crashes during login.

Ditto #2 - downgraded packages with the command: yum downgrade xorg-x11-server-{Xorg,common,Xnest,Xephyr} to the version 1.6.1.901-1.fc11, now it works.
