Regarding installation of linux graphics mode

hello everyone,

i just installed RHEL5 in my laptop but whenever i start linux,its straight away goes to text mode.it does not boot even graphically.can u tell me what short of problem i m facing right now.

Hi!

Maybe it's RHEL server that you have?

Code:

cat /etc/redhat-release

Have you tried:

Code:

startx

after login?

cat /etc/inittab

and look for the line marked

Code:

# Default runlevel.

id:3:initdefault:

If you edit the 3 to a 5, it'll boot into Xwindows everytime.

I guess you dont have proper graphic drivers and will need to install it from dells site.
Did you get graphical interface during installation of RHEL?
