Question problems with X


I am trying to get x to run but every time I try, it doesn't work.
I posted a more detailed account of this here:

try running XFdrake again

once the config file is correct you should be able to use startx

then once that works, change the default runlevel to 5 in /etc/inittab

id:3:initdefault:

change to

id:5:initdefault:
