And in case your version of fedora uses Xorg instead of xfree86, do
"Xorg -configure" and see if it gets it going.

Check your logs for X errors. You can also edit /etc/inittab to change
the default runlevel and keep from going into x|g|kdm at boot. Then you
can use startx on the command line to perhaps get a better idea of what
is happening.
