Thanks for the advice. The problem seems to be elsewhere. I typed 'startX' after the bootprocedure and after logging in but got several lines like this: "Error while loading shared libraries: LibXmuu.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory" I also checked /etc/inittab: the runlevel is already 5 so I didnt change anything. Seems like I have to reinstall something... :( Btw everyhing worked fine just after installing the dloaded version (core1) of Fedora. I got this problem after running the up2date tool...
