In my case, as the OP's in the posts you cite, it was xorg updates 
of 6/14 that caused the problem. I've tried reverting xorg-x11-drv-nv, 
but then X fails to start.

xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.1.1-5
Geforce4-400
Samsung 191n LCD

If the OP's intention was the same as mine, it was only to inquire 
of the sort "am I only one?". Seems we're not. I was goin to try a fresh 
install of test-1 from CD's before persuing a BugZ.

I've had the same behaviour too, rawhide before a few days ago was working
just fine with the nv driver, but after that update all the images seemed
very overly bright, like some gamma correction was turned up all the way

Text however was as before, just the desktop background, icons and window
decorations that were trying to burn out my eyes :-)

Strinking resemblance is that i'm also using the nv driver, to be specific
with a 7800GTX and a 24" dell LCD screen connected with a dvi cable.

My workaround has been to drop xorg back to the fc5 one (and related
dependencies) and wait out the storm until its fixed, however if a tester is
required, I could switch back to 'the light hurts us!!' mode again :-)

Another "me too" using FC6T1 with a similar setup Dell D800 with nv on 
GF4 4200 Go and external DVI monitor, did anyone log this to bugzilla, 
or is it already fixed in rawhide?

I saw this, too, on a fresh FC6T1 install, but it was fixed by an xorg
update.

Did you set yum to use rawhide for updates, or leave settings as installed?

On first bootup I saw lots of updates wanting to apply, I initially 
installed just a handful of them and rebooted, the rest of the updates 
then no longer wanted to apply :-(

I left yum's settings as installed out of the box, then proceeded with
yum update.  There were 145 packages updated, and one failed dependency
that was corrected by removing nfs-utils then rerunning the update.

I saw your earlier message.  Did you yum makecache after the clean all?
