Probably a dumb question. When you upgraded your computer you were in runlevel 3 and no X Windows session (ie KDE, Gnome, etc) was running correct? Next things we can try 1) Assuming you're in runlevel 3 run startx. Do you see any errors in the console output? 2) Backup and /etc/sysconfig/Desktop if its there and delete the original. Then run: init 5 Any difference in behaviour 3) While in runlevel backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then delete the original try running startx or init 5 and note what if any changes have occured.
