I have just done an update of Centos 6 with the new newly released CR repo. After reboot when I expected to see the KDE login screen I got a blank black screen.
I reset, logged in as single user and tried "setup" but the only options I get are authentication, firewall, keyboard, network and system, nothing for X. I tried system-config-display & /sbin/system-config-display and got command not found.
Startx from the command line gives the same black screen. I had no X related issues before updating.
Any ideas?
No GUI after update

-- SOLVED --
After considerable time in single user mode trying various things including yum downgrades I decided to try reinstalling the ATI drivers and it is now working again.
Past kernel updates have caused problems that required a driver reinstall but I didn't immediately think of this because they have only ever been minor issues with the resolution. It has never crippled the system before.

Might want to look at the ELrepo repository [url=http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-fglrx]drivers[/url]...
