I've got a new VM installed for me by a sysadmin who apparently did a minmal install.
As a result I've installed a bunch of things to try to get X going, including
yum groupinstall "development and creative workstation", "Desktop platform" "mate desktop"
but so far I've not found the incantation to get it to start up X at boot time.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't even try. Once I log in, startx works fine.
Can someone point me to whatever it is I'm missing here?
thanks!
