Andrew, 

as I have mentioned in the other mail,

what was done is here:
http://www.geocities.com/olivares14031/fc72rawhide.htm

 I got by these errors.  Several observations

1) Firefox does not work

[root at localhost ~]# firefox &
[1] 3088
[root at localhost ~]# The program 'firefox' received an
X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not
exist)'.
  (Details: serial 867 error_code 15 request_code 45
minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are
reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after
causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync
command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a
meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the
gdk_x_error() function.)

[1]+  Exit 1                  firefox

2)  cannot get to DE as regular user

[root at localhost ~]# cat
/home/olivares/cannotstartx.txt
Script started on Fri 04 Apr 2008 08:01:38 PM CDT
[olivares at localhost ~]$ startx
xauth:  creating new authority file
/home/olivares/.serverauth.2405

Fatal server error:
Cannot open log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log"

xinit:  Server error.
Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
[olivares at localhost ~]$ su -
bash: su: command not found
[olivares at localhost ~]$ exit
exit

Script done on Fri 04 Apr 2008 08:02:16 PM CDT
[root at localhost ~]#

3)  If I start in level 5, default and try to login, I
gdm cycles back and forth.  

4)  gkrellm crashes with following 

[root at localhost ~]# gkrellm &
[1] 3171
[root at localhost ~]# The program 'gkrellm' received an
X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not
exist)'.
  (Details: serial 7003 error_code 15 request_code 45
minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are
reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after
causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync
command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a
meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the
gdk_x_error() function.)

[1]+  Exit 1                  gkrellm
[root at localhost ~]#

Looking at it from the bright side, I can login as
root and type this message.  

Regards,

Antonio
