I strongly recommend the "start in run level 3" approach to anyone
having trouble getting their video setup configured. That way
ctrl-alt-backspace can kill the X session if the need arises and you
don't end up with X cycling until you reboot.
At least since about FC2 (maybe FC4) this shouldn't generally happen as
gdm will detect X respawning too fast and popup a console message
warning that X couldn't be started. It tries something like 5 or 6 times
before giving up. You are then free to use any of the VTs to fix the issue.
