Re: Redhat 9 could not start X server

To fix an X problem, you better switch to a different runlevel - 3 (no GUI enabled). It's hard to work on X issues while your system runs at runlevel 5 (GUI enabled). Please do the following if you can, and it fixes X problems most of the time:

# init 3 (switch to runlevel 3)
# redhat-config-xfree86 --noui (re-generate xfree86 config file with default values for a generic multi-sync monitor and video card)
