hey, I was yuming and rpm -ivh/-uvh FC5 with xgl and things didn't go as expected. now that the X-server is not starting and throws the message X-Server is not configured properly. Is there any rollback procedure in Linux, or how do i overcome this problem without reinstalling FC5 again.
wut does xorg, x11 and X-Server mean? is this based on VESA drives? what is fglrx? what if i have configured my x-server with fglrx having a ATI X700 card? can i still changed it to the standard VESA drives.
Can i setup xgl on a Live CD. is this possible?

X11, or shortened to X, is the system used on Unix-like OS for the graphical display. Xorg makes one of the X's, XFree86 makes another. FC5 is using the Xorg version.
VESA is a generic driver that'll work with many different graphic cards, for when you don't have a specific driver for that card. It's usually quite awful, but when you have no other option...
