I upgraded my Inspiron 3200 from RH6.2 to RH7.0 over the weekend.  After finishing the 
install, X no longer worked.

Because I had a backup of my old XF86Config, I was able to fix the problem quickly.  

I think the problem was a bad range for HorizSync, and copying the old range into the 
new XF86Config file fixed things (but I might be remembering this wrong).  

The advice to save a copy of your old XF86Config is good, and it should get you going 
quickly if you have problems with X after the install.
