the /etc/inittab file you should alter the line:

id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:

sets the default runlevel to 5.

from the comand line type
startx
and that should do it, the inittab thing makes it perminat

Suppose you are in graphical mode, How to go back to text mode in debian?
In Mandreke we do ´ctrl+Shift+F1'and in Redhat we do ćtrl + Shift + Backspace´
:newbie:

crtl alt backspace (this one istent distro specific, xfree86 reconizes this as the comand to terminate, so unless your distro compiled xfree86 without this (requires source modification i think) then it should work
