It sounds (wild guess) like your video driver is unhooked and you are
running on Vesa. I think it probably was a Fedora issue. Maybe there's
been a change in the way X reads that file (syntax dropped or
something). I can't find anything with a massively quick check, mind
you.

I have Fedora core 5 and after the last update, X would not start. It
was trying to load the Vesa Driver, which isn't great for whatever
nvidia card I have. It failed. If your box came up, you mightn't notice
this, but video would be awry.

I hacked up a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and everything was fine.
