I think I've almost figured it out, if I boot with the initlevel set
to 3 and then startx from the command line everything works fine,
however when I boot with initlevel 5 I have the display problems.  So
obviously it's a service that only runs at init 5, is there an easy
way to figure this out?  The other thing I forgot to mention is that
I'm using the nvidia-glx.rpm from livna.org does this affect anything?
 Thanks for any pointers or help....
