errors with the X window
 

hi,guys,just yesterday i installed the gnome desktop on my centos6.2(x64),i used this command "yum -y groupinstall X Windown System",it finished properly right,then i run "startx",it returns some errors,then run "init 5",this time it stays here,what's wrong?

i really have no idea.......

I have no any idea too. But maybe you can post those error messages. Or how do you think?

i wondered if differrnt machine has different results,i did all the above on another machine,but it had a totally different result,I made it!here is the error image i made:

it looks for /dev/fb0, which should be the framebuffer device. But it does not exist in your system. So maybe you need to install it also (but it also depends on your config)
try this, maybe helps: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121533

maybe his solution dosen't fit my centos6.2,mine doesn't has ~/.xinitrc,and i try rm the /root/.Xauthority ,then run startx,but now i has more problems.......
