I just updated my main workstation to Fedora 25 (via dnf system-
upgrade), and Xorg is consistently crashing.

I had been running this same version of nvidia drivers on f24 with no problems:
$ rpm -qa \*nvidia\* xorg-x11-server-Xorg\* kernel
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-kmodsrc-370.28-6.fc25.x86_64

My guess is that something changed in the version of Xorg between f24
and f25. Anyone else seeing this? nvidia-bug-report is attached.
Thanks,

Yes. Look further up in the log. You'll see that the nVidia drivers are not
compatible
with the latest version of Xorg supplied with F25.
You could probably get around it by dumping in the F24 versions of Xorg or wait to see
when/if nVidia supports the Fedora supplied version.

Your guess is correct. X went from 1.18 to 1.19. Seems it should have
gone to 2.0 since it is not backward compatible. Below is a message
from an rpmfusion admin about this.

At least I've updated the Howto to mention that nvidia isn't
compatible with Xorg server 1.19.

Your guess is correct. X went from 1.18 to 1.19. Seems it should have

from an rpmfusion admin about this
why should it have gone to 2.0?
because you are using hardware with a blob-driver?
no, you are at your own - there is no reason to run a NON-RELEASED
fedora-version with binary drivers and in fact no reason to use hardware
which won't work out of the box in 2016 - said from someonbe who is
using proper hardware on Fedora for many years
why in the world do you play around with F25 when your hardware depends
on a commercial vendor where Linus had the right sign long ago?
stay at F24 and be happy - that's it!

Actually, I'm using the open source radeon driver, with a 4.9 kernel.
I would expect that to work without alteration if X 1.19 was compatible
with X 1.18.

In rawhide, with 1.19, there are graphics issues. In F25, with 1.18,
there are no issues. Same hardware. In F25, with 1.19 the same issues
as appear in rawhide occur. That to me is backward incompatibility,
and should be flagged via the version number. YMMV

That's why I switched to amd graphics. I can use the latest kernels
without worrying about drivers.
