xorg Display problem

[Mulligan Fritz <mulligan fritz gmail com>]

I've recently upgraded a Toshiba Portege 2000 laptop (Trident CyberBlade 
video card) from FC3 to FC4.

In FC3 everything worked perfectly fine in X.  in FC4 not even the 
install will load properly.  I have to pass a resolution argument to the 
kernel on boot and I also get a white screen and have to press Fn-5 to 
disable and then re-enable the lcd for it to show properly.

I decided to try to go ahead with the install and then fix it later.  
Well.. I went through with a personal desktop install and lo-and-behold 
I still have to pass a resolution argument and still have to fn-5 it to 
get gdm to display.  I did a yum update to get any last minute fixes. I 
then proceeded to install some other apps:  xmms, mp3 support, mplayer, 
xine, realplayer 10.  I also removed the helix player.  When I attempted 
to bring the system back up the next day, X fails to load with:

[EE] /usr/X11R6/libs/modules/libddc.a is an unrecognized type.
[EE] TRIDENT: Failed to load module "ddc" (unknown module type, 6)

I've STFW and can't find a dang thing about this.  I've tried everything 
I can think of in my limited experience with xorg and my longer 
experience with XFree86.  But I'm stumped.

Any thoughts?
