Prior to the above, I had to remove the link (initially renamed)
/etc/X11/X.  It was pointing to X11R6.  Starting xfs, then allowed me to
run system-config-display.

After sending the above message, I replaced /etc/X11/fs/config with the
config.rpmnew in the same directory.  Restarting xfs, I was able to
startx for my user account and get firefox to run.

So far, I can't get gdm to start any sessions (Gnome or KDE) for my user
account except the failsafe terminal.  Gdm will, however, start root's
account.  Root gets a warning "Error activating XKB configuration."
