H'mm this feels silly. I can't find out how to make my xserver start up automatically at boot time. I reinstalled Redhat 7.2 for the umptenth time and managed to forget to set it to graphical login. Now, I want it to login to Gnome or KDE at reboot. I tried to find a file called tty something in the /etc folder but I didn't find any.

What should I do? Which scripts/config files controlls these things. Whenever I try to change this in Gnome or KDE's controllpanel programs nothing happens.

Once again, love this forum

To boot directly into a GUI, you need to modify your /etc/inittab file. For Redhat, edit the line which reads "id:3:initdefault:". Replace the "3" with "5".

For pointers on how to load a specific desktop environment/window manager, use the Search function. As your search criteria, type "xinitrc"; you should get the idea by reading some of threads that get returned. If not, repost with whatever further questions you have.

Thanks for the quick reply, worked like a charm
