It is almost certainly nouveau, there's no real need to check. I need to
know the exact situation in order to figure out whether there's a bug
and where the bug is.
lspci -nn output would be useful. Are you _sure_ there's
no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ? The only chips that the auto-detect code
should use nv for are very old ones. Unless NVIDIA have started re-using
PCI IDs...
Adam & Vedran,
I did a from-scratch 64-bit F12b installation from DVD last night, so I
can't go back and look for anything from that F12a -> F12b upgrade that
didn't work. The good news is that X now works in the fresh install.
There are some other problems I need to document separately.

No xorg.conf file here. (Note to self: after all the effort I went
through in the old days to learn how to customize xf86.conf, I really
need to pop the hood on this new server and figure out how it works.)
