I did a fresh install of F9Beta on my second test HDD (only default things). After an upgrade to the latest rawhide I noticed a new /etc/inittab.rpmnew file. I made a backup of inittab and switched to a new version. After a reboot gdm doesn't start automatically - "telinit 3, telinit 5" fixes this problem.
/etc/event.d/prefdm start on stopped rc5 <- broken deps in upstart?
Shouldn't be. Are you booting to runlevel 5? Does gdm log anything to /var/log/messages.
I suggest to restore line x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon in inittab.
That won't solve anything, as that line would be ignored.
