Greetings,

I am a bit lost. Never had this before with RHEL 5. Installed RHEL 6
normally, added gnome and KDE, RHEL starts in text mode only.

Reintstalled, same problem.

I need to point out that this is a vmware installtion, *but* as I said
never happenned with RHEL 5.

Tried grub-install etc. No luck. startx or startX neither.

Glad if someone knows how to solve this.

Best wishes,
Jimmy

The first thing to do is to try the startx, then have a look at the
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file and see what it has to say.

If this is an upgrade, keep in mind there was a big change in X between
RHEL5 and RHEL6. You might even try renaming your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file and trying the startx again. The new X often doesn't need an
xorg.conf and will actually have issues if it tries to obey what's in
an older xorg.conf.

Give it a try and let us know.

I tried all this of course. No, it was not an upgrade from RHEL 5. I will
tell you what, I reinstalled RHEL 6 again. This time I perused the
navigation bars and found well hidden in the X options the window X. I
ticked it et voilà.

Great that you took the trouble to write back to me Rick.
Cheers,
J
