Recent FC1 install, X suddenly stops working

Mon Dec 29 21:00:38 UTC 2003

/etc/X11/X86Config has not been modified since original install.  This 
was a new install three days ago, updated via yum at that time to bring 
it current.  I installed xine, mplayer, xmms-mp3, etc. from livna last 
night.  Today, mozilla and gnome-terminal could not open windows.  I 
tried to reboot, and I had to take rhgb off kernel line in grub to boot, 
and had to go to initlevel 3, as X kept failing.  I have no error 
messages in /var/log/XFree86.0.log, and when I issue startx command, all 
looks fine until the message "waiting for X server to shut down" 
following the SESSION_MANAGER=local/.... message.
Any suggestions on how to get more information about what is wrong with 
X on this box?
