Problems with booting red hat


i have red hat 7.2 and i have three problems that are making red hat unable to boot:

1st: I cant get the graphical logon screen to come up although this isnt a major problem

2nd: When linux is left at the text login screen i get a message saying "starting wine [Failed]" i know that to stop this you have to go into the interactive startup but its very annoying doing this every time, anyone know a way to stop this happening permanantly.

3rd: when i log in as root and use the screenx command to load the desktop i get an error "no screen found" and a list of ati graphics cards above it(my graphics card is ati).

Anyone any ideas on how to remedy these problems?

- i have red hat 7.2 and i have three problems that are making red hat unable to boot:

look in /etc/inittab change id:3:initdefault:
to id:5:initdefault:

if this is the case run : system-config-display


2nd: When linux is left at the text login screen i get a message saying "starting wine [Failed]" i know that to stop this you have to go into the interactive startup but its very annoying doing this every time, anyone know a way to stop this happening permanantly.

do chkconfig --level 345 wine off

3rd: when i log in as root and use the screenx command to load the desktop i get an error "no screen found" and a list of ati graphics cards above it(my graphics card is ati)


if this is the case run : system-config-display
same problem as above
.

Anyone any ideas on how to remedy these problems?

i hope it works ;-)
