I upgraded my 71-PRERELEASE system and couldn't start xserver any more 
(see log below).

googling this problem I found that many people had the same issue 
without the clear solution.
"NVidia has to fix it's driver" is the solution,

This is the major stability breach.

There is really no reason to upgrade xorg-server to 1.5.3 if nvidia 
driver can't work with it since nvidia is the major card  provider and 
maybe half of all systems run nvidia.

I believe xorg should be downgraded back to 1.4.X until the issue with 
NVidia driver is resolved.
