Red Hat 9 and XWindows?

[rahmanjan]

Hi all,

I managed to install red-hat 9. I was hopping to start linux in x-windows environemnt. But not only it started in text mode but also when i tryed to type xwindow/s it doesn't recognise it.

is xwindow changed in linux red hat 9? or is there something going wrong in my system?

many thanks

If you have installed all the xwindows stuff correctly, then it should start when you type "startx". If everything goes well then you are just booting into server mode (runlevel 3). Edit /etc/inittab and change this:

id:3:initdefault:

to this:

id:5:initdefault:

The next time you reboot. The system will boot into runlevel 5 (work station).
