I've installed Fedora 2 on a system that has been running Redhat 9.0. When I log off, the system hangs, the monitor displays a message complaining that the refresh rate is out of range.
The X configuration has the correct monitor and video card with all of the same configuration data for the RH 9.0 machine right next to it.
Have an identical problem with a Dell machine that's been upgraded from 9.0 to
FC2. The machine does a total blow-up, nothing logged. Fancy swapping specs,
to see if there's something common? I've installed it on many systems, all
from the same image, so I know it's something quirky with *this* hardware.

Try the new CVS version of X from the development tree. This eliminated a random crashing problem for me.
I believe that it does not log, because X from the regular install just exits. No processes, no logging.
This may or may not help you on your particular problem.
