I upgraded from RH8.x to FC1 and ran into similiar problems.  I do 
boot into init 3 at this is my prefered method.

I would change back to init 3 and then ensure that "startx" will run 
properly first.  You will have to configure your X.  Are you running 
FC1 or FC2?  Each uses a different X server.

My advice would be to backup your data and then do a clean install. 
After a year, I am still finding and removing the odd problem related 
to the RH8 install.  I also believe that going from FC1 to FC2, it was 
recommended that a clean install be done.  I will say that the clean 
install of FC1 at home works better than the upgrade at work.

Others?
