Any ideas?
Absent other ideas, I might try re-installing CentOS or re-installing X. I have a pretty good idea how to do the former, but the latter might be harder despite, in principle, being less intrusive.
My understand is that unistalling X will normally take all its dependents will it. That means That I will have to re-install said dependents, possibly listing each one separately. My thought is to /usr/bin/script yum's output into a file. I'd use the file to produce another yum commmand to reinstall X's dependents. Does that seem like a good plan?
To reinstall CentOS, I would back up things that needed backing up. I would use yum to list all installed packages. I would use my grub menu to select the same stanza that I used to do a net-install of CentOS. It might be nice to use a kickstart file, but I do not know how.
After the install, I would restore the directory that listed all my repositories. This is a step I am not sure about. I have a vague recollection that that is not sufficient. What else would I need to do? I would use the yum listing to install everything I have now. Does this seem like a good plan?

Would yum reinstall X reinstall X's dependents? If not, I still need the list of package names that depend on X. Telling yum, at least tentatively, to remove X would seem to be the simplest way.
I really do not want to do any more experiments than I have to.

Well, you can probably uninstall X doing
yum groupremove 'X Window System'
But, since I am late in the show I dunno what's the deal with X11 that is causing you such suffering.

IMHO, you could just copy/tar the /etc/yum.repos.d/ and then bring it back in the new install in one way or another.

See:
Thank you, but my concern is not specific to X. X I can easily get from install options. I have repositories that are not listed in the install options. My recollection is that there is more to it than restoring a yum directory. There is a bunch of Berkely DB stuff under /var/lib/rpm . Would restoring /etc/yum.repos.d and /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys be sufficient to activate all the repos from my old install?

Actually, you could just look at /etc/yum.repos.d. In there, you can also check to see if the repo is enabled, or if there's includes or excludes. We do that here, because there are systems we do *NOT* want some things updated without someone doing it manually, like the ones with very old NVidia cards, where we have to manually rebuild the proprietary drivers, or production systems, where the teams want to test the updates before they go into production. <snip>

Maybe I was not clear. I'm refering to reinstalling CentOS. My current CentOS hangs after trying to start gdm. My diagnostic efforts have been for nought, so I want to more or less start over. I already have a "list" of all the repositories I want. It's the contents of the aforementioned /etc/yum/repos.d .
I could try to install every single repository by hand. I don't remember how I installed most of them, but I could try. I would probably succeed, but its not a certainty. Following that, I could install all the packages by hand. I could edit my list of installed packages and make a massive yum command.

Ok. What we use here at work are, besides the default repos, rpmfusion (free and non-free), epel, and Adobe (you know why...). For *very* special cases (like NVidia cards that *are* supported), I've got elrepo (with only the things needed for the NVidia card and xorg included from elrepo).

Most repositories will have a 'name-release.rpm' where name is the name of the repository. This will install the entry under /etc/yum/repos.d and set up the gpg key for the rpms. If you have a URL to the repo release rpm, yum can install for you with: yum install URL However, note that your current problem may be related to something you've pulled from a 3rd party repository so you should avoid blindly repeating the process. I'd install/update the package list from the base repositories first, then add EPEL and others with a policy of not overwriting base packages and make sure everything works before installing anything from repos that may overwrite any base packages. I normally keep any in the latter category set as 'enabled = 0' in the repo file and use --enablerepo= on the yum command line when I want something from them.

But did yum update any packages? There's a certain amount of risk in having uncoordinated 3rd party repos enabled when you do updates even if you aren't intentionally adding/changing anything. Does /var/log/yum.log show anything around the time your problem started.

You might try running 'rpm -Va' to see if there are any surprises in the list of differences between the current state and what was installed.

Yes you can use a local copy of the rpm and either 'rpm -Uhv' it or 'yum localinstall' it. or:

If you have the http URL that you used to download the rpm manually, you can just 'yum install URL". Older versions of yum could not do that so the documentation may not mention the simple approach.

those rpms install the yum.repos.d file along with the GPG keys for the repository, so by installing the repo RPM, you can then use yum to install anything in that repo.

Yes. They will install an entry under /etc/yum/repos.d with default settings that you may want to edit before using if you want to set priorities or leave it disabled. If you want to check the contents of an rpm before installing, you can use: rpm -qp --list filename.

When you find the name, you've found the URL to get it... Most browsers would have a right-mouse, 'copy link' menu option to put the URL on the clipboard to paste elsewhere.
