Hi Daniel,
Don't get too upset :)
You said you finished installed it in text mode:
2) Did Text-based installation and installed everything and hoped
    that I can somehow fix the X11/GUI later:

Then you can update FC4 using yum as root in the console, type: 
yum check-update
You'll see the upgradable packages, Then you can select the packages you want 
to update (in this case X11 related):
yum update packagename1 packagename2

Pls let us know the result.
