It was the actual xorg-x11 packages. I had to reinstall X to the earlier
and eneded up getting some logs when I shut down. (xorg exiting after
the newer rpms were installed, ... NOT pretty) and one where X was
initialized after trying to restart X.
It looks like I can go back to selinux and hold off on the CVS xorg
until it is fixed for the 815 chipset.
