can you move the system back to the more broken configuration, then grab /var/log/Xorg.0.log and attach it here?
Created attachment 660937 [details] Xorg.0.log.old
Xorg.0.log.old is the log for broken system, i.e., without the xorg.conf
oh wait, i think i know what this is: > Dec 08 19:43:00 roddur gdm-simple-slave[1005]: WARNING: Failed to give slave programs access to the display. Trying to proceed. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=0fccf4e0671e49
So, can I do anything right now, or should I wait for the next update?
(btw, i think this manifested as a side effect of bug 875085 that was later fixed by bug 831735, but i'll push the GDM fix too)
can you attach /etc/hostname /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts and the output of $ host roddur ?

Created attachment 661695 [details] xorg.0.log from first boot xorg.0.log from first boot attached! Cant find out what is making the difference.
what's the output of rpm -q NetworkManager ?

uhu!! its working! I need to download iso image afresh(may be the iso released with beta had some other bug?), and now its working completely, including https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812624 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812624#c24)

gdm-3.6.2-5 is not the aboslute answer of the problem I suppose. I reinstalled f18-RC1 and found the same problem persist. The problem is solved when I update my system enabling updates-testing. Though I dont have the knowledge to let you know which actual package solved the problem, I report it for your knowledge.
the same with me - installed Fedora 18 Beta i686 Live Desktop (accepted my fate). yum update reboot and no login prompt - blue backgroud image only. Can not say what exactly helped - but it is working now. yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update shutdown disabled 3D accelereation in VMware boot -> init 3 X -configure # some error cp xorg.conf.new xorg.conf remove all ScreenX except Screen0 from "ServerLayout" cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/ telinit 5 It seems like MATE works, Sugar works, Cinnamon works, KDE has broken dependencies this helped: yum downgrade mysql-libs qt xmlrpc-c xmlrpc-c-c++ qt-x11 yum install @kde-desktop
I upgraded my system from F17 to F18 today using the steps provided here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_17_-.3E_Fedora_18 The only thing I have is a blue background image only (no login possibility). --- # systemctl status gdm.service gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed, 2013-01-16 16:39:09 CET; 20s ago Main PID: 3313 (gdm-binary) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/gdm.service ├ 3313 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary ├ 3333 /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave --display-id /org/gnome/DisplayManager/Displays/_0 ├ 3341 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -background none -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-FpoRBM/database -seat seat0 -nolisten tcp vt1 └ 3356 gdm-session-worker [pam/gdm-launch-environment] Jan 16 16:39:09 FOO systemd[1]: Starting GNOME Display Manager...
