Guys,

This is a known issue with a patch on the 6.8.2 version of xorg-x11.  It
is an upstream issue.

Pasi Pirhonen (one of our CentOS developers) found and reported the
issue upstream.

In the meantime, I believe if you disable dri in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file everything will work (except 3D).
