login prompt no GUI


I just did a fresh install of FC6 but when I try to login instead of the desktop I get a login prompt. When I attempt to fire up the GUI via startx I get an error message:

"fatal server error
server is already active for display 0
if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again."

There is more but I think there is enuff info, if not let me know,
My xorg shows only one error: "AIGLX screen 0 is not DRI capable".
I have an old ATI vid card.

I am able to log in to the GUI if I remove the .X0-lock.
I have updated everything via yum.

xorg file:
# Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config

Section "ServerLayout"

Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

error message speaks for itself surely... "if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again."
