Intel video?
What you need to do is to install the older rpms for xorg-x11. You can 
get these off of your installation DVD or CDROMs. For the DVD, all 
needed packages should be located in one spot. For CDROMs, the needed 
packages could be located on several of the discs.

Some have suggested using the "vesa" driver instead of the "i810" driver 
in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file until xorg-x11 is fixed.

A list of current bugs for this upgrade of X are below.
