Thanks for the catch on the reference to the extras location. I knew he 
was referring to updates since it is part of core. I'm too used to 
referring to Extras to get programs and didn't realize I referred to 
extras instead of updates.
.
linux xdriver=vesa
yum update to pull in the new driver.
run system-config-display or X -configure after the updates are applied 
and we're off.
Providing the fix quickly after the release should stifle some of the 
reports. For users that do not monitor the list, there probably will be 
tons of reports. (if printed to paper)
