How do you start X-window from command line?
Baiscally, when I start up SUSE linux on my computer at the GRUB screen (as opposed to Windows: I dual boot), about 3 times out of 7 it won't boot up the graphical login screen. I've no idea why. The screen just stays black, even when I leave it for ages.
(Fedora used to do that to me a bit as well: perhaps it's because my hardware is quite old now. Pentium III 650Mhz and 388MB RAM. I don't know.)
But I can still log in in text mode, by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F6, etc. So what I'd like to know is how can I start X-window, and then start Gnome / KDE, etc from command line? What commands to use?
And secondly, if I do decide to work on command line, what is the command to log out?
Thanks.
