0.211 generates a "black screen of death" for me with gdm boot
(runlevel 5).  Checking the logs, there is a repeatable kernel Oops in
the drm code that seems to savage X
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457598, kernel BUG at
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fops.c:144! invalid opcode: 0000).

However, booting 0.211 to runlevel 3 and then issuing a 'startx' works
for me (Thinkpad X60, Intel 945 graphics) without the Oops.
