Problems with my X's and how Ive solved them

I have installed Fedora GNOME edition and somehow x's did not installed. So ok, I grabbed it with urpmi, configured well, after rebooting they are not working. I am stuck with console-only. I can logon, work normally but in the console, I cannot start XServer,

I googled that Fedora is somehow not compatible with X's. Thats strange as X's are the most commonly used branch of WMs. So - the simpliest solution to this is to simply force Fedora to not install X's at install time and install it afterwards (as you'd do in Arch/Gentoo).

You realize that this is not a Fedora support forum? You probably should ask your question at https://ask.fedoraproject.org

Apart from that - what exactly do you mean by x's ? Do you mean the Xorg server?
What did you grab and configure well exactly? Which media did you use to install Mageia? - as Fedora doesn't use urpmi.
What graphics chip do you use?

I use built-in GMA chip :)
Ye, I somehow mixed these two distros, my apologies......
