can't boot to xwindows



(one more try -- Moderator: please ignore previous email.  I posted from wrong email.)
 
This isn't exactly an installation question but since I'm such an extreme newbie this is probably the best list.
 
I've had RH7.1 installed for a few weeks.  I rebooted my machine today after it had been up for about a week and it can't seem to get into xwindows.   It goes through the normal startup stuff with lots of green OK's and then the screen goes black.  At first it would come to a text mode logon prompt if I moved the mouse but would go back to the black screen in a few seconds.  Since then I did a totally cold boot and now I don't even get the text logon prompt.  It does seem to be doing something because the screen will alternate between a very dark blue and black when I move the mouse.
 
Can someone give me some direction on how to troubleshoot this?
