No idea that which update led to this problem, but it just started coming in yesterday. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: All that i do is log-out and again try log-in to the system.which fails a couple of time. Once the login is granted ,following are the logs under 'gnome-system-log > secure' Aug 18 22:22:44 sawrub-xbox sshd[1527]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

i had to wait and try around 30 times before i was able to log-in.Please look into this.
Something similar here. I manually upgraded xorg-x11-server-Xorg and xorg-x11-server-common to version 1.6.3-4 and than downgraded to 1.6.3-3. I have the same problem, after the computer plays the login sound, the screen goes blank, and drops me back to gdm. After 3-6 tries, i can log in.
Guessing the problem due to update made to xorg from testing repos,i un-installed the xorg server as a whole and then installed a fresh one again through yum update.And now its back to normal. Following is the list that i have : [root@sawrub-xbox ~]# rpm -qa|grep xorg-x11-server xorg-x11-server-devel-1.6.1.901-1.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.1.901-1.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-source-1.6.1.901-1.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.1.901-1.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-7.fc11.i586 [root@sawrub-xbox ~]# though the issue of screen getting blank at regular intervals is still there. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501601
This appears to be a duplicate of 518748 which appears to be fixed in the latest Xorg update.

Thank you for the bug report. Are you still experiencing the problem? --- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
No..once the Xorg was reverted back to the previous build .its all fine now.And since i don't have a test machine, hence have excluded Xorg from yum update.
On a long OFF for the next whole week so will be able to verify it after that if the updates are there.
Have you had the opportunity to test the updates? --- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
yes presently i'm running following and the issue have not surfaced any more. [root@mybox ~]# rpm -qa|grep xorg-x11-server xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-7.1.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4-0.1.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.4-0.1.fc11.i586 [root@mybox ~]#
Seems to be resolved. --- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
