Latest Xorg update breaks my GUI

I upgraded my system to the latest Xorg last night and after a reboot 
had a major problem.  This box is an F9 box (An older HP with intel 
graphics) connected to an HP vf52 flatpanel monitor.

On reboot, the arrow and 'Fedora wait circle' appeared on the screen, 
then my screen went black, the arrow returned, ad infinitum.

I initially thought the upgrade had broken the setup, so I rebooted into 
RL 3 and resetup the desktop config.  The card and monitor were detected 
correctly and the screen resolution was available and I selected it. 
(1024X768).  Still, on reboot, same problem.  X would start (presumably) 
and restart with no complete loading of the GUI.  I've looked in Xorg's 
log file, but don't see any error messages that might clue me in.

Can someone else shed some light on this?
