When X starts and fails, press CRTL+ALT+F1 to go to console mode. Log in as root, then edit /etc/inittab with your favourite editor.
You probably didn't know that you can go to a console by CTL+ALT+F[1-6] .. and that will solve you many problems.
Right. I actually did know about CRTL+ALT+F1, but once in console mode I don't get a login prompt.
The easiest way is at the fedora splash menu
In my case that would be GRUB.
press "a"
then add " 3 " to the end of the line and boot to run level 3.
Thanks, that works. Now I'm able to start debugging my X problem.
Now you can do what is needed to get X to run, simply use "startx" to test it and "ctr-alt-bksp" to kill the server for the test.
Once it is running properly just reboot back to the graphics mode.
