X was not starting for my rawhide x86_64 on VMware Fusion either (on an intel
macbook).  X is respawning so fast because its probably not finding usable
screens, check your /var/lib/Xorg.0.log.

I think the vmware xorg drv package needs rebuilt with abi fixes for the new X
(thought that had already been done).  I'll be getting that rawhide reinstalled
again in vmware soon and maybe we can get bugs posted on that.

Your bash/login issue I'm not sure about, but there have been a couple kernels
with selinux issues in the last few weeks, make sure you're on a latest sync'd
mirror and get the latest kernel and selinux policy you can.
