Got it!

I used preupgrade. It left xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.19.0-3.fc16.x86_64 on
the system because it appeared to be newer. The correct driver is:
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.19.0-1.fc17.x86_64. 

Once I removed the old driver with "--nodeps," installed the new
driver and rebooted, everything worked as expected.

I had also discovered some difficulty with mplayer. That, too, is
resolved with the correct driver. I'll wager that there are a number of
people who have the wrong driver installed and don't even know it - yet.
