How did yum perform that installation for a FC5 machine?
Is there a sane yum repository still active and updated for FC5? Or, did 
you get that Java Dev group packages from F7/F8 repository (hence 
terribly mixed things)?
For the latter, I'd say you haven't even faced the least of your 
troubles to come. Do
yum upgrade
and see what else is pending for your machine.
Xorg.0.log does not tell much to me, just looks like i810 driver is 
crashing.
