Try booting into runlevel 3, or whatever it's called now, log into a CLI as root and try this: yum reinstall gdm and reboot. In my case, a database had gone away and the reinstall restored it. Joe, I finally stumbled on a technique that allowed me to boot bu just deleting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Only problem I had as a result is that I can not get the gnome3 interface, when I log in it switches to the fallback of gnome2. Your idea of using reinstall seemed intriguing. I tried to reinstall gnome-shell* but that did not bring any success either. I had such difficulty adjusting to gnome3 when it came out, I have been a little surprised by my attitude of missing the gnome3 interface now. If you have any other suggestions I would appreciate some help.
