Just some wild guess, coz I cant see your XF86 logs but here it goes:
Are u using NVidia? I get that eveytime the kernel is messed with, so I have to boot on runlevel 3 and run again the NVidia installer, so it can build another module for the new kernel. Have U messed with it recently? There was an kernel update on up2date some time ago, could you have installed it and didnt reboot, so the problem just arrised weeks later? (happened to me...)

Hello,Rocky,
Yesterday, my Gnome desktop started acting funny. I reset the xserver and it failed to bring the desktop back up. So I rebooted. Same thing. /etc/X11/XF86config appears fine and unchanged. Have an error i the messages log "Failed to start the display server several times in a short time period; disabling display :0"
Anybody have any ideas to try before I mondo rescue? Also, where and
what is the command line command for xconfigurator? I can't find it..
DON'T mondo! This is a very common error and simple to fix. I had to fix it on my RHCE exam. But I'm having a senior moment and don't remember exactly what the underlying cause was. It's something simple like the wrong video driver in /etc/X11/XF86Config -- something you can fix in text mode then switch to runlevel 5.
Anybody else want to jump in here please?

Rocky,
redhat-config-xfree86 is the command to use in place of xconfigurator.
Doc's suggestion that you manually edit /etc/X11/XF86config is also valid as long as you are familiar with what video driver you normally use.
:)
