started display manager = hang

[Fernando Cassia <fcassia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

All was well with my F17 system until yesterday night when I did a yum update and rebooted.

Now, I get the Fedora logo ¨filling up¨ until it switches to text mode and I see it shows

"started display manager" and hangs there.

Of course I can log-in in text mode via ctrl-alt-f2, but for some reason X wont start.

Thinking it might have been a hardware issue (gfx cart not properly seated in the slot) I removed it, cleaned it with compressed air, cleaned the card contacts, and properly inserted it back.

Then I tried the two older kernel revisions at the grub2 screen, thinking maybe the last kernel had some incompatibility. To no avail, same result.

So, I´m running out of clues as to what to do. I´m curious if any of you running F17 with the testing repos experienced any hiccup wrt X not starting up?.

If not, I´d really appreciate clues wrt how to get my system back to a working state.

Thanks in advance.

FC
