If you want to directly boot into X Windows, then edit the file
/etc/inittab
and change the line "id:3:initdefault" to have a 5 instead of 3. But for
this
technique, I suggest to verify with startx first that X windows works
first
before making the changes.

1. Starting X Windows on start up
I've just installed Red Hat 6.0 on an old Pentium 60 machine
that we had around.
After the initial install it was running X Windows at start up, with
a graphic login prompt (I think it's called xdm).
I mistakenly made some changes to the run level, and it's now
starting at the blank command prompt again.
I tried resetting the run level to 5, and editing the /etc/inittab to
reflect id:5:initdefault:
That didn't do it.
What else can I do to get xdm to run at boot time?
Thanks in advance
