[wplug] Lost X server

[Weber, Lawrence A]

I recently upgraded a Fedora Core 6 installation to Fedora 9.  The
system was set to use the gnome desktop.  Upon completion the system
boots to a text screen.  X server does not appear to be running
(although it ran during the installation).
 
Running startx responds with the error "No devices detected".  
 
Then after a pause, 
no screens found
giving up.
 
xinit: Connection refused (error 111) unable to connect to X server.
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
 
Any ideas what went wrong or how to recover?
