X window or X server
 

i want help plzz, every 7 or 8 days i install red hat 9 thats because the x window or x server cant be load the GUI interface to put the username and the password and i dont know how can i solve this problem without installing from beging...???

can ub more specific on wat your talking about plzz?

1st sorry if am bothering u... the interface in login which allow me to write my USERNAME and PASSWORD not appeare..something wrong within X WINDOW....

is it only the login prompt that does not appear or is the background missing?
what does appear?
is there an error message?
is there some command or action you preform just before this happens?

it is a black background
localhost :
disappeare then appeare
then a blue message appears tells me the ( X Server can't be load )
** Nothing commands or actions performed before this..

ok.... um.
try and press crt+alt+F2 to see if you can get a command line prompt login.

i tried but not work in the text mode.. i want to change my resolution from 1024 to 600x800 but from the text mode enviroment...???

If you edit the inittab file (found in /etc/) you can stop X from trying to load a graphical login so at least you can cut off that problem. In the inittab file look for the line:

id:5:initdefault:

this tells linux to load a graphical login. If you change the 5 to a 3, this will give you a text login, so you can avoid the X graphical login problem.

Once you do that, you can go to /etc/X11 and edit the XF86Config file in order to change your monitor resolution.

Plz anyone, if I'm giving bad advice, stop me now! :)

i tried wht u told me but no result, the graphical interface don't appear, i feel that it is from the VGA driver..??? am using Gforce 4 MX 440, is it stable with Linux...???
