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
