I have noticed that rhgb/firstboot do not use the X configuration you created
for gdm/startx, but, it appears, the same generic configuration as anaconda uses.

Doing so makes rhgb and firstboot graphics show properly (as long as you were 
able to do a grapical install) even if your hardware has problems with the way
you configured it (graphics card/monitor/resolution/color depth) -- that happened
to me on one of my PCs...
