Gnome + Graphical Mode


Hi,

When I boot up my RedHat Linux PC, it will appear in the text mode.
How do I change it to graphical mode?? In my /etc/inittab, it is already
id:5:initdefault

Where else went wrong??
Please help!!
Thank you!!

It should have a colon at the end, like so:
Code:
id:5:initdefault:

Hello :"(),

Sorry for my typo error. My /etc/inittab is actually this : id:5:initdefault:

Can I know what goes wrong because after reboot, it is always in the text mode? I needed it to be in the graphical mode? Anyone can help the newbie of me?? :"()

Are there any error messages to indicate that gdm, kdm or xdm aren't starting properly?
