In my original posting I said When using system-config-display to try and get dual head working I can check the box for "dual-head" but the drop down selection box for the "second video card" is empty. System-config-display refuses to let me continue until I uncheck dual-head. So it may be X it may be system-config-display. Sorry for the confusion. So from what you say the XEN kernel won't work, so why is it installable it'd be a lot less confusing if it just plain "wasn't there". I saw a few RHEL 5.1 and 5.2 bugzilla reports on my exact problem (I saw then after I posted) the Xen kernels crash when attempting to start X. BZ 435130 437412 433528. I realize RHEL 5.x is not Fedora 9 but it seems to be the same problem.
