Reinstalling would be the Windows way of fixing that issue. No need for
so much work.
Do you still have a copy of your /etc/X11/XF86Config (or xorg.conf as
the case may be)from FC2? Maybe you can diff the two to see what's changed.
Also, are there any errors in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (I forget what
XFree calls this log, it's been a while since I've run it)?
You have the other option of changing your /etc/inittab's Default
runlevel from 5 to 3 so that you have to manually start x instead of
having the box startx for you, this way you can tune your X server to
your liking without having to reboot.
Good luck,
Dave
