This will not tell you what is wrong but may get you to a working system. 1. Boot the system in single user mode. You do this by specifiying "linux single" to lilo or by editing the "kernel" line in the grub configuration and addingle the work single. 2. In single user mode, edit /etc/inittab and change: id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault: and then reboot. 3. After reboot, log in as root and run: redhat-config-xfree86 or redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig where "--reconfig" will completely ignore the existing /etc/X11/XF86conf You can then do a startx to test the configuration. Once you have a good configuration, you can edit /etc/inittab and change back to runlevel 5.
