I thought it possible. I don't understand what dependencies if any Xorg may
have on systemd, and saw an apparent time connection between upgrade to 219
and problem appearance in Tumbleweed.

http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2015-March/057252.html got no response. A
follow-up attempt is at http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2015-April/057314.html

That's what the links in my OP were about. The bugzilla.redhat.com bug has
generated no response. The mageia-dev mailing list provided no useful
response in both September and February.
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15662 has generated no response as
well. Only place left that makes sense to try is kernel, maybe KMS fault
switching back from 1600x1200 to 1024x768?
