X will not restart once started

X will not restart once it is started. Not sure where to look for the 
problem.

Symptoms:
If I use Red Hat Graphical Boot - then X won't start. System freezes or 
I just get a cursor.
If I don't use Red Hat Graphical Boot, then X starts fine, but if I log 
out and GDM is restarted (X restarted) it will hang.

It appears that whenever it leaves a graphical mode, it leaves the video 
subsystem in an unusable mode. A reset fixes it but I can only enter the 
graphical mode once.

I am using Red Hat - Fedora Core 9 - Issued a "yum update" to update all 
packages
Motherboard is Intel DG31PR
Video is Intel 82G33/G31 Express (on mother board) and nVidia NV43 
(GeForce 6600)

Problem exists whether I use "intel", "nv" or "vesa" and whether or not 
I have the nVidia card in or out.

Related error that I am seeing but I see it whether it works or not:
