In /etc/inittab you should have the following line(s): 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 .... The 2nd field there lists the runlevels that mingetty (the login program) should run in. I'm guessing you're missing '5' there. Rafiq -----Original Message----- From: Sameer Kamat [mailto:sameer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 29 July 2004 17:57 To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: text login Hi I have the default in inittab to run at 5(GUI mode). It works fine, but if I hit CTRL+ALT+F1 I do not see anything but a black screen. If I set the inittab default to runlevel 3, then I do get to a text login screen, however when I run startx to get to the GUI I lose the text console. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I should be doing to fix this ?
