I'm aware of this bug.

I updated rhgb + selinux-policy-targeted yesterday but that didn't
help me anything.
   [root at jackpot ~]# rpm -q selinux-policy-targeted rhgb
   selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-44.fc8
   rhgb-0.17.7-3.fc8

I forgot to mention that when I kill the xorg I return to a screwed up
vc. when I switch to Alt+fnOther I can login and after the login the
screen resets okay.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that changing from nv => vesa
allows me to startx.
