All the desktop distribution is directly run inot X(Graphics Mode) except you changed the default.

Please don't run xfs(X Server) as root. This is pretty dangerous.

You can change the default run level to 5. Then, you have no problem already.

if you want no prompt add this to the inittab (/etc/inittab)
*NOTE*
be sure that you have a free tty (no shell on tty7)

Syntax: <TTY>:<RUNLEVEL>:<TYPE>:<PATH> BAUD DEV
Example:

PHP Code:



7:23:respawn:su -c <UNPRIVED USER> "startx"

I think that a regular user can start the xserver, be sure that

PHP Code:



su -c <USERNAME> "startx"

works before trying the rest.
