p.s. I installed fc9 last week and Xorg crashes when PCI is not enabled. just in case someone has the same problem.The Ubuntu PS3 team is also working on an a couple of bugs relating to lack of PCI info. I don't know if these are the same issues you're facing. We're tracking them here at [0] and [2]. We had an initial crash was simple to fix [1]. Now we need to get X to automatically load the fbdev driver instead of vesa [2].
Fedora uses a newer Xorg (1.5.0 RC1) then Ubuntu. It seems that the detection/scanning code was changed. For me, it crashes right behind "using VT number 7", where a file in /sys/bus/pci is accessed (which of course does not exist), so its not related to the other mentioned bugs. I'm hesitating to file a fedora bug report, because the default kernel works. It's more a Xorg bug to assume everyone has PCI ... Greetings Marvin
