Exclamation HELP! Can't start graphical interface


Running RH9. Always previously when booting it would start into a graphical interface. Now during boot I get a message saying "Couldn't start Xvnc" and it doesn't go into the graphical interface. My screen keeps switching between the normal non-graphical login and a blank screen. I finally got logged in as root, but I can't really do anything because the screen keeps switching away to a blank screen.

I'm really a newbie, and I don't know how to recover from this.

Any suggestions really appreciated!

Thanks,
Frank

Did this work before? Maybe you don't have Xvnc?

hi
there
there are 2 things u can try out

when the system boots up
enter into interactive mode by pressing 'i' at startup it asks for that

and start the services except the ' Xvnc'

or when u r switching between these machine then u can try

ctrl+alt+(+,-) 3-4 times

maybe u switch to a different screen

regards
gaurav
