Any thoughts on whether it's sufficient to 'exclude=xorg*' prior to updating from 6.3 to 6.4 to keep the X server compatible with AMD 4xxx series card/driver? Will I be the first to try this?
I can confirm that you can backtrack by enabling the proper vault repositories (and giving them the appropriate priorities), and then doing "yum remove xorg-x11-drv-modesetting", "yum downgrade xorg-x11*".
While I did not have xorg-x11-drv-modesetting installed (thus did not need to remove it). I can confirm this was able to get my xorg-x11 downgraded. For the less educated (myself included BEFORE this process) here is the command that I used to downgrade my xorg-x11*...
yum --enablerepo=C6.3-base --enablerepo=C6.3-updates downgrade xorg-x11*
Hope that helps others.
