Installed ~cjb/rawhide-xo 20090510.img with 'copy-nand' onto an XO-1 
system.  Booted.  Boot process went normally up to the point where X 
would be used to draw the background and the "user logon" screen.

Instead, the contents of the text console were repeatedly shown, 
blanked, shown, blanked, etc. - as the system repeatedly tried to 
start X, but failed.  Eventually, the boot process stalled at that 
point.

By switching to another text console, I was able to log in and 
examine the contents of memory.  The only thing of interest was many 
many copies (to all intents and purposed identical) of Xorg._.log in 
/var/log .  Copied the most recent of those, and put it into 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500086 , which I created 
for that purpose.
