I haven't seen the earlier part of the thread,
but I "yum-upgraded" a laptop to FC5 a couple of days ago,
and X did not work because /etc/X11/xorg.conf
contained explicit FontPath's.
When I changed them to 
        FontPath     "unix/:7100"
as on machines where I had installed FC5 cleanly
X ran fine.
