    Failed to start the X server (your graphical user interface)

    I know that this problem was discussed in more than one forums, but I could not find what should I do with my case

    Running FC7. I installed several packages (I do not remember what are they) last night. Today, when I booted up the computer, I got this message:

    Failed to start the X server (your graphical user interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem.

    I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 where I get the X server failure and go to a command line.

    1- cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
    Code:
    (WW) warning , (EE) Error, (NI) Not Implemented, (?) unknown, (EE) unable to locate /open config file
 
(II) Loading Extension MIT-SCRENN-SAVER
(EE) Failed to load module vga (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) open /dev/fb0: No Such file or directory
(EE)<default pointer>: Cannot find which  device to use.
(EE)xf860OpenSerial : No Device specified
(EE)<default pointer>: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for Input device <default pointer>
    2- Then I run : Xorg -configure
    Code:
    Xorg is not able to detect your mouse. Edit the file and correct the Devices.
Your xorg.conf file is /root/xorg.conf.new.
To test the server, run 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
    3- Then I run Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new
    Code:
    Fatal sever error:
failed to initialize core devices
    4- Then I run system-config-display --reconfig

    The output was :
    Code:
    xconf.py: Fatal 10 error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server:17.0.
--display=:1: Fatal 10 error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server:17.0.xconfig.py

    output for " X -configure " command is :
    Code:
                  Intel
              ark
              r128
              trident
              amd
              hsc
              vmware
              glint
              fbdev
              vesa
(EE) LoadModule: Module ztv does not have a ztvModuleData data object
(EE) Failed to load module "ztv" (invalid module, 0)
(++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"
(ww) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(II) Module already built-in

Xorg is not able to detect your mouse. Edit the file and correct the Devices.
Your xorg.conf file is /root/xorg.conf.new
To test the server, run 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

    Edit xorg.conf file.
    Code:
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Videocard0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     8
         Modes    "1280x1024" 1024x800" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     16
         Modes    "1280x1024" 1024x800" "800x600" "640x480"  
  EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
         Modes    "1280x1024" 1024x800" "800x600" "640x480"

    Add Modes in xorg.conf file. Mode line is missing in your xorg.conf file.
    Code:
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Videocard0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     8
         Modes    "1280x1024" 1024x800" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     16
         Modes    "1280x1024" 1024x800" "800x600" "640x480"
  EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
         Modes    "1280x1024" 1024x800" "800x600" "640x480"
  EndSubSection
EndSection
    In case it doesn't work, set Driver value to vesa.
    Code:
    Section  "Device"
          Identifier      "Card0"
          Driver          "vesa"
          VendorName      "Intel Corporation"
          BoardName       "Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
          BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
