All of a sudden I'm stuck in text mode

Hello all,

I'm Linux newbie using SUSE 10.1. Yesterday I did online update and than restarted into Windows (I'm dual-booting) and now when I rebooted back to Linux I'm in text mode. How do I get back to GUI?

Thank you,
Goran

startx
init 5
If it fails - please post /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I dont know if the problem with X is, but if X on startup was accidentally turned off, just edit /etc/inittab. In slackware the various runlevels are described in that file in comments and it whows you the line to change it on. I don't use suse, so I can give any specific info, just look for a line that says something like "default_runlevel=x" where x is a number between 2 and 5.
