Description of problem:
Since applying the latest development updates, X11 does not start.  It works when booting with kernel-2.6.1-1.65 but fails with kernel-2.6.3-1.[91,97,100]

It happens during the boot to runlevel 5 or by using the "startx" command, running as root has no effect on the problem so it not permissions.

As it works with a earlier kernel, its not the latest XFree builds. Has the major/minor numbers changed between the 2.6.1 & 2.6.3 trees?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.3-1.100

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install FC2 into a VMware session
2.Update to the latest development set
3.reboot
4.Start X11
    

Actual Results:  Output from a "startx" command:
