Not able to access graphical interface


Hi,

I am not able to access graphical mode on Redhat enterprise server 5, It gives following error when i try to access.

------------
Failed to start the X server(your graphical interace) it is likely that is not set up correctly. Would you like to view X server output to diagnose the problem?
-----------

I am seeing following error in log:-

-------

Before reporting problem check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have latest version.

Markers (--) probed, (**) from config file, (++) default setting, (++) from commond line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI)not implemented, (??) unkown

The error is as it's displayed. You haven't set up your X windows environment correctly. Either your monitor, keyboard, or mouse is not correct, and X can't start.

The log file you need to check is the /var/log/xorg.0.log. Look for the lines that have the EE by them...those are the errors. A brief Google search turns up:

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_73_3217.shtm

And you can also contact RedHat for support, since you're running RHEL
