What is really annoying is that I had none of these problems with 8.0. Everything looks fine using XFdrake. The setup I was walked through after doing a startx dropped me in Gnome and everything worked perfectly so I don't think anything is wrong with my display settings.
So why does startx put me in twm now and now gnome? /etc/sysconfig/desktop is set to GNOME Why don't I get a graphical login? What command can I give to start gnome instead of startx?
