It have a similar problem with an RHEL clone updated to to FC5 test2
that does not start the X server in runlevel 5 but works fine in
runlevel 3 using startx.
I did not investigate the problem much on this very unsupported system.
I assume that something in runlevel 5 is amiss. Maybe a service is not
loaded that is needed by gdm and runlevel 5 execution.
It is great that at least runlevel 3 and startx work for you. Did you
disable any services that you though might not be used?
