As long as you install the xorg-x11-server-Xorg package and something that provides "service(graphical-login)", anaconda will set up X to automatically start.  What are you doing that doesn't meet those criteria?

Comment 3 John Troan 2011-10-24 19:34:20 UTC

I chose to build a VM server as the base, then had to choose X Window System as one of the additional packages to get X installed.

Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2011-10-27 02:14:07 UTC

Do you have the xorg-x11-xdm package installed?

Comment 5 John Troan 2011-10-29 02:05:56 UTC

I don't remember what sub-packages were selected at that point.  I've since reformatted and started over several times, with the Desktop core option being selected since then.

After I get done fixing the software RAID-1 problems and get the system going, I'll likely be doing one final rebuild from the ground up and can do some poking around then.
