After I reboot, login, and execute startx command,
I get windows environment. When I logout of windows 
enviroment the screen frezzes and I can't get the

After rebooting after crash, before you start X back up again, make a
copy your X server log and config file, and attach them individually using
the link below.

This is filed against XFree86, which does not exist anymore in Fedora Core.

Reassigning to correct component...
