Mike, can I assume that these name changes such as /etc/X11/XF86Config to 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf are consitent with what other distribution switching from 
XFree86 to xorg-x11?

I can hear the guy that does the VMware maintenance cursing Red Hat if this is 
unique.

I have an "everything install" system that I just updated to xorg-x11-6.7.0 
(plus s-c-d) and there were not complaints from up2date so the Fedora Core 
appears to be clean.

However, when I tried booting, I got a X startup error that it could not 
access /dev/mem.  I then installed the previous versions of the packages and 
everything worked again.  Since my config and other files were not renamed, 
is that the problem or is it something else that Dan Walsh is looking into.  
I have not submitted a bugzilla report since Dan seemed to be aware of the 
problem and was working on it.
