I had the same problem (Intel + Geforce 6600) and the second update on 2.6.22.13 fixed it.

For the record, I was able to log in using the command line, but when I tried "startx", I got an error saying that my xorg.conf could not be loaded because the devices could not be found. I have two screens.

Problem solved. Switched from Norwegian to main repository. Update and upgrade. Everything OK. Problems with restricted drivers in Norwegian repository
