On the command prompt, login as root and then type "xorgcfg" (without quotes) and configure your X server. Then reboot and see if it works. Also tell us about your hardware.

Where do you see the error message? It should be on the terminal since X server isn't started.
OK press Ctrl + Alt + F2, login there and follow what eddie said.

Yes, upgrade is possible without formatting. Just select upgrade option when installing. Also, there's a repair option in FC, AFAICR.
