There are two separate problems getting confused here.  The original
poster has the problem of X not starting at all and blowing him back out
into text mode.  He will have some (EE) stuff in his X log and that was
who the advice to look was aimed at.

Now there is a separate problem I saw myself on two machines here with
ATI graphics, X starts up fine but the video is munged.  In both cases
updating to the new module-init-tools from updates-testing fixed the
problem.  On one machine at least, a workaround was to Ctrl-Alt-F1 then
back to Ctrl-Alt-F7.

What does

rpm -q module-init-tools

say?
