I did some more checking on my system and have found the following. When I do a /etc/rc.d/initd/dm status I get the following.
dm dead but subsys locked. If I do a ps -afx I see that /usr/sbin/autologin is running but not prefdm. if I telinit back to run level 3 it give me the same error that dm is not running. when I log off from my x-session I return to the command prompt. If I then execute /etc/rc.d/initd/dm start. X starts properly and when you log off it returns you to the login screen not the command prompt. I Checked the ps -afx and prefdm was now running properly. Also if you start the system up in interactive mode then x starts properly with prefdm running. Any ideas ? I'll keep experimenting Brent
