FC2 upgrade-X problem

[Ralph Jones <ralph nomeking com>]

I've just upgraded an FC1 installation to FC2,and run into a problem 
getting the X server to launch.

The system had been running Gnome on an ATI Rage 128. After the upgrade, if 
I try to boot into run level 5, the X server tries repeatedly and endlessly 
to start, usually displaying a blank dark-blue hi-res screen with an X 
cursor in the center.

I've changed inittab to boot into run level 3. From there, if I try to do 
init 5, I get the same result. However, I can command startx from the 
run-level 3 prompt, and the X server comes right up with my old Gnome settings.

Next, I made up a test script that runs all the start scripts in rc5.d. 
When I run that, it starts up all the services associated with run level 5 
-- the Samba server shows up on the network, and so forth -- and I am no 
longer able to run startx. However, if I remove the xfs start script from 
this script, I'm again able to bring up startx.

Next, I tried removing the xfs startup script from rc5.d and booting into 
run level 5...and that put me back where I started. I still can't get the X 
server up except by running startx from the text prompt.

Suggestions? Thanks...
