I'm also having 'baby eating' behaviour with this rawhide push. With the
latest kernel, X starts up, but the screen is malformed (with both the
nv and nouveau drivers).

When booting with an older kernel (2.6.25-0.40.rc1.git2.fc9) I could get
X started up back normal, but as soon as I tried to log in using GDM the
session directly crashed.

According to dmesg the process pulseaudio had crashed (1), so I tried to
manually install the previous pulseaudio package from koji. After this I
could start my GNOME session from runlevel 3 with startx, but not from
GDM. When I try to log in from GDM I get the error message that the
gnome-settings-daemon could not be loaded (or something like that).
