Chris:

        I have an /etc/inittab that runs the line 18
         id:3:initdefault:
(it was id:5:initdefault in the FC 5 distro, but I dont like beginning
graphics-like) and
	x:5:once:/etc/X11/prefdm --no-daemon
last line of the script, that I commented out and I think manages the
login in graphics mode, firing xdm. Maybe you have the problem in this
last line.
