    Various thoughts:
    1. Can you not boot at all, or you can't boot into init 5. If you can
    boor to int 3 do that and run system-config-display to configure the
    xorg.conf file for X.

    2, Do have a proper grub.conf and has grub been installed. If that is a
    problem it can be fixed buy booting into rescue mode and them do a
    chroot /mnt/sysimage (or make your FC3 root partition root) to fix
    grub.
