What made you decide that SELinux was part of the problem, or did you 
simply disable it by reflex?  Are you getting any security alerts?  When 
you say that X doesn't start, do you mean that you're able to log in but 
then X doesn't come up or do you mean that you don't even get a login 
screen?  Have you checked any of the appropriate logs when you're logged 
into a console, and if so, have they told you anything?  These and more 
are probably questions you'd ask your students and for good reason: you 
haven't really given us anything to go on.
