FC11 + Nvidia Driver = no X

After the latest update on September 10 X has stopped working.

FC11 - updated Sep 10, 2009 9pm
NVidia Driver - release 185.18.36

Seems it is FC11 after all. Basically I was following my own instructions from the days of FC9 and had the following in my xorg.conf

Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"

This is basically causing X to segfault along with my hal setup. Commenting out the above line made my setup with NVidia driver to start working again. I am soooo happy now :)

FC11 update broke support for lirc

This applies to kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11 for both 64 and 32 bit releases.

Basically the release lost the lirc driver due to a build error. The symptoms would be that your IR receiver would be recognized as a USB device but the lirc daemon wont be able to talk to it. /var/log/messages would show error message saying /dev/lirc missing.

You can track updates to it in the following bug request.

Note: This was fixed in the next kernel update
