How do I turn on VGA, so that I can use GUI interface?
I have set-up serial console when installing the system. But would like to use VGA now.
Thanks,
Herve

xstart
If not, you can install the software from the distribution cd's and then make the command after logging on.
If the reply is useful, please assign points.

Re: How do I turn on VGA, so that I can use GUI interface?
On startup, as Steven said, you should have a prompt for login, and password. Enter yours, the you get a prompt, like # if you are root, $ if you are not (better not be if you do not need to).
Type 'startx', and you'll get the gui.
You can also edit /etc/inittab, and change default run level form 3 to 5, to directly start on GUI at boot.
Last tip, you can change gui (from shell, not gui itself), by type 'switchdesk guiname', for example switchdesk kde, or switchdesk gonme.
You'll get another gui next time.
With your distro name, we'll redirect you to help pages linked on that.

Re: How do I turn on VGA, so that I can use GUI interface?
you have got some valued suggestions. am adding a few.
X -configure will normaly try to autdetect your settings and write a configuration file in /root. (guess it is called XF86config.new or something).
using this configuration, run X.
X -xf86config
if you are satisfied, move this file /etc/X11 as XF86Config and then run a startx. and voila.
to start X by default change your initdefault keyword to 5 (in Redhat.)
hope this helps. if you have any more questions, revert with your distro.

Re: How do I turn on VGA, so that I can use GUI interface?
I am using a debian distribution.
checking /etc/elilo.conf content:
append="console=tty0 console=ttys0,9600"
enable VGA console (tty0) and serial console port at 9600 bauds.
along with your advice fixed the problem.

You can run startx, check if you installed
Xfree (The X)
Also you have Xconfigurator or X --configure
or to edit /etc/X11/Xconfig
