Black screen


after using RH 7.2 for 1 week it now goes to the konsole after i boot. i have to type in my login and password, and then type in startx to get to the GUI. How would i be able to fix this so it automatically goes to the GUI like it did before? And does anyone know how it happened?
-Thanks

check your inittab file in the /etc directory.. it should be set to a runlevel of 5 instead of 3...
