Hello Ralph, I've come in a bit late on this so I don't really know what
your problem is. However, I did a RH8 to FC2 upgrade and had a not too
dissimilar problem with X. It wouldn't start at all. My problem was the
upgrade didn't create an xorg.conf file to replace the XFree86-4 config
file for X. Your starting runlevel is in the /etc/inittab file, the line
that reads: 'id:5:initdefault:'. Let's know what problem you  are having
and I will see if I can help you.
