The problem is that X is not configured properly and is not starting up properly. I suggest changing the boot runlevel to 3 until you get it working. edit the file /etc/inittab and change the line id:5:initdefault: to : id:3:initdefault: rather than reboot to enter runlevel 3 you can run the command telinit 3 all the above needs to be done as root. You can then run startx from the console to see what is happening with X. There is a log in /var/log/XFree86* that might have some interesting information in it. mouse configuration or video card configuration are, in my experience, the primary causes for these types of errors. you can run Xconfigrator to set up your X configration HTH Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
