Are you sure X works at all?  Does it work on the local console?  Can
you access the machine at all over the network?

We also need to know SPECIFICALLY what's not working.  What error
messages are you getting?  What does /var/log/messages on the Linux
machine say?  What does /var/log/XFree86.0.log (RH or FC1) or
/var/log/Xorg.0.log (FC2) say?

Remember, gang, if you want help, please be specific.  Just saying
"it doesn't work" is no help.  That's like saying "my car is broken"
to your mechanic.  It may be true, but it's singularly ineffective in
helping to isolate the problem.
