After upgrading from F18 to F19 using fedup, I was getting a

starting Xorg[1]. It turns out my case seemed almost identical to
another case[2], but since they seemed to be from separate drivers I
filed a separate bug. The catalyst driver also did not work for me,
but for an entirely different reason. (My ASUS laptop has a Radeon HD
7730M) I didn't have time to look into it further at that point, so I
just filed the bug and did weekly yum upgrades, hoping a package would
get fixed or bumped that would fix my problem. As of today, that still
had not happened and no one had responded to my bug report. Having a
bit of free time, I decided to look into it. Since the stack trace
seemed to indicate the mesa-dri-drivers were at fault (I accidentally
forgot the stack trace in the bug report, but it is almost identical
to that in [2], replacing sis_drv with radeon_dri), I rebuilt the
latest from git and tried that. After replacing the old version with
the newly built radeon_dri.so, I was able to boot into X without a
problem.
The latest mesa in the repos still does not solve this problem, so I
just wanted to bring it to the maintainer's attention that an update
for this package should probably be expedited.
We don't simply bump Mesa to bleeding-edge git on stable releases. It'll
fix your bug, sure, but it could just as well break 2x as many things as
it fixes...
