I got the idea to switch off kernel-based mode setting by the following article:

http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Rock-it-What-s-new-in-Fedora-13-1006388.html (Information that this technique is used in Ubuntu + that it can be switched off)

using nomodeset is also a workaround for Bug: 583610

So my conclusion is that the bug must be somehow related to kernel-based mode setting.

So maybe the package is no longer correct?

Since I have the workaround boot time is much shorter. Before it took ages until xorg came up.
