Any clue what is this? If this is related to my graphic card, i have Intel D510 motherboard with integrated intel graphic card.

Not sure what the cause is, but since it's just a warning I would not worry about it too much. There are always some compatibility issues with Linux and hardware. You might check Fedora forums for more info.

Ok, I'm no expert but GDM is the gnome logon manager and is normally launched when the X server is started. Its the first screen you'll see at the graphical login stage.
maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors
This error seems to indicate that the X server which powers the graphical side of things is failing to launch. The messages you are seeing are the X server starting and then GDM failing. This happens a X number of times before the X server just dies and isn't launched. Are you seeing the login screen at all? In the past when I've had X server issues its been the graphics module/driver that I've been using. As bigfoot65 suggests the Fedora forums might be a good place to confirm any known issues with X server and the onboard graphics card you are running.
