Hello, I am pretty clueless too, I have to admit, but the error message to me looks like the problem is with your XF86Config file. This resides in /etc/X11 directory. There is a howto on how to fix problems with it, also type man XF86Config in a terminal for some info.Your problem probably lies in the "screens" section of this file. Unfortunately, the good and the great at redhat decided that XConfigurator was too crude a tool to include in the recent versions of RH, so it is no longer shipped. There is a fancy GUI that you could try running, but I have no idea how to invoke this from the command line. I believe it is supposed to notice if x windows did not start, but in my experience, it often doesn't do this. I suspect you are going to get quite familiar with command line editing in the next few hours so man vi might also be a good command to type at this point !
