ok now.... ( post #4)

Here is some of the stuff in inittab
it says:

id:2:initdefault:

si::sysinit:/etc/init.d?rcS

~~:S:wait:/sbin/sublogin

l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6
z6:6:respawn:/sbin/sulogin

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6


no error but screen flickers or turns on and off before ( post #5)

it flickers and then goes to this console so how i check for errors

well init 2 is multi-user without network support as opposed to
init 3 which is multi-user with network support...i just assumed yours said 3....but in any case both are for booting to the CLI, as opposed to init 5 which is full multi-user with network support and X11....
so just change that :
id:2:initdefault:
to read :
id:5:initdefault:

oh and one more thing....keep your posts in the threads you have existing about the same problems....we were just discussing this in your other thread and then you came and made a new one (which was unnecessary) ...

and as i can see this is getting confusing cause you told me what you did in your other thread....
now...
post the error(s) that are in:
/var/log/xfree86.0.log

ok i use command
vi to edit how i change it curse does nothing when i move over and try 2 change it
