do you have your X server configured?
try typing "X" (without quotes) and see what that does

If you get a command prompt, try logging in, then do:
startx
If the X server is installed and configured, you should get a GUI.
If you get error that you must be the root user, do:
su <enter root password>
startx
HTH,

Hi!
try logging as root, and then do this command:
xf86cfg
If you have installed X server, you can execute this command
to configure the desktop
