recently, i upgraded my ASUS G74S laptop to fedora rawhide and it was running nicely. then this morning, i did another "yum update", which appeared to update well over 200 packages (including a slightly newer kernel), after which, when i booted, i had no graphical desktop anymore, just the little blue and white fedora logo.
i can still switch to VC2 and log in at the command line (where i am now), so i can certainly check log files, but i don't see anything immediately amiss.
i rebooted both to the earlier rawhide kernel, and even back to the latest fedora 20 official kernel -- same result, the fedora logo in the middle of the screen on VC1, but the ability to log in on another virtual console.
has anyone else run into this? i have an nvidia graphics card, and am running the nouveau driver. i'll keep poking around the log files, and if you have any suggestions, i'm all ears.

Hmm, sounds similar to what I'm experiencing. When you go into VC2 what does "lsmod | grep nouveau" show? I've found that I've been having to manually "modprobe nouveau modeset=1" since doing my update about 4 days ago. I'm not sure why nouveau won't load and I find that if I don't set the modeset=1 when I do the manual modprobe that I still can't get X.
