At the grub menu, press "e", and add " 3" (including the space) to the
kernel command line (which either starts "kernel" or "linux" -- I can

This then should get you into Fedora. Run
system-config-display --reconfig
as root, and see if you can get X working.

Run startx (as a normal user, please) and check that it's working.
