RedHat 8 help!

[marcus_from_hell]

Hey how is it going you guys?

I have a little poblem here. Just finished installing RedHat 8 on my computer here. Everything throughout the installitation worked fine exepct to the point where it asked what screen resolution I wish to use so, I selelted 1240 by 780... then the computer froze. After rebooting it just dumps me to the command prompt. I don't know what command it need to enter to get the GUI up!?

anyone knows? I hate to run the setup again which took me more than 3hrs.

Thanks for any upcomming help.

startx will start the gui (X windows).

If you want it to start at boot, open the file /etc/inittab and find the line that says:

id:5:initdefault:

(if it says 5, you're good. 3 will bring you to the command prompt again at boot).

If you need to fix the video config, type:

Xconfigurator

at the command prompt and it'll take you back through the setup.

I haven't messed with 8, this stuff might have changed, but I doubt it.
