CentOS - Oct 2010 - X windows won't start after update to autofs

Hello everyone,

Maybe this doesn't make sense, but after I updated autofs yesterday and 
rebooted this morning, X windows won't go. It tries with the old 
configuration---doesn't work. It tries a fresh config and fails. I can't
copy and paste, but it says screens found, but no usable configuration.

Couldn't start X server on card 0
Couldn't start X server with old config,

(EE) NV(0): No valid initial configuration found
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usuble configuration.
Fatal server error: No screens found

Anyone have ideas?

System-config-display gives me:

Couldn't start X server on card 0
Couldn't start X server with old config, trying with a fresh 
configuration
Couldn't start X server on card 0

My first thought is that you're mixing two issues: are you *sure* that you
rebooted after the last kernel update? If not, I'd think it's looking at
the wrong drive. This isn't, um, an nVidia card, is it?
