My friends pc running fedora core 6 64-bit when it starts all services will ask for login commandline style no gui when inputed i tryed startx but got

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0

NO HE IS NOT RUNNING DUAL SCREENS this was working perfect until we installed graphics drivers

Have you tried alt+F7?

[K1u]

Yes it works but is there any way it can be set to default go into the gui?

edit: when we enable desktop effect teh tops of the windows are not shown.

At the command line, as root, type:

init 3 <enter>

then

system-config-display <enter>

go through it's dance, when it's done, do

init 5 <enter>

Should be good - don't forget you're logged in as root.

[sri_ram1982]

edit the /etc/inittab file and change the line

id:3:initdefault:

to

id:5:initdefault:

save and exit

u will normally login in the graphcial mode.

[K1u]
