Level 5 gets you straight into X at startup. Because your X does not work properly (yet) that's why it crashes to console. Startup in console mode (level 3) until you get your X running properly and then look at this link on how to get xdm going so that you can have a graphical logon. http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue43/nielsen.xdm.html Having a 'X' cursor means the Xserver is running. It's just that you don't have a windows manager running. The attached xinitrc file should be placed in tour /etc/X11/xinit/ directory. When you run startx it will now launch the TWM window manager, give you a clock and a terminal window. If you want other windows managers (KDE Gnome etc) try looking on their websites for advice on getting them running.

If I try to run X from console I get blank screen with mouse pointer. I also tried redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig but got: "xconf.py: Fatal IO error 2 (Connection rejec by peer) on X server :17.0.".
