ATI nomodeset hang on boot

I've been booting with the nomodeset option for several weeks
as a workaround for this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461801
After I updated today, I can't get a graphical login unless I remove
nomodeset. The original bug is theoretically fixed, so I guess I
don't need nomodeset to work any more. But unless I remove
nomodeset, I get a frozen garbled screen instead of a
graphical login. I can ping the box and even ssh in, but X is
sucking 100% of the CPU. Even after telinit 3, it remains at the
frozen screen. I have to reboot to recover.
Thanks,
David
