No, but then I've not ran F-31 on a RPi for a month or two, I tend to
move to dev releases pretty quickly and don't regularly use desktop
UXes in testing.

First question is what updates were applied, the most likely
candidates are kernel and mesa. If you reboot into the previous kernel
does it start working again? How long between the updates, was it
days/weeks/months since you last updated and rebooted?

Custom image? Anything else custom or did you start with
minimal/workstation/xfce and cross grade?

Well that's a mostly irrelevant comparison because none of the
software is anywhere near Fedora.
