After update of xorg-x11-xinit and a number of other packages today I'm

I startx as a normal user.
xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.7-5.fc9.x86_64
I'm not sure yet what is responsible just noting what changed.
I see warnings in Xorg.0.log regarding acpi which I'll post shortly.
This is running the new kernel today and the previous (2.6.24.1-28 and
2.6.24.1-31).
GDM loads, crashes and respawns in a forever loop with the current
version gdm-2.21.7-1.fc9.i386 installed. X starts fine from runlevel 3.
Runlevel 5 is currently ruinlevel 5.
Pretty sure this is due to the SELinux updates, not xorg-x11-xinit or
gdm.
Try booting with enforcing=0 (or switching back to runlevel 5 after
running "setenforce 0". Worked for me.
I mentioned this on the (draft!) rawhide status page:
http://wwoods.fedorapeople.org/rawhide.html
-w
Booting with enforcing=0 still left gdm respawning again and again. I
booted in runlevel 3 after trying runlevel 5 with enforcing=0 with no
problems.
Its better to have a busted gdm than X, the kernel or a critical service
failing.
Its an xi386 problem anyway and not related to vmware or x86_64. I guess
it is off topic.
