Sorry for being a pain, guys. Cheers. Is xfs running? $ ps uax | grep xfs If not, start it manually: # service xfs start # ps uax | grep xfs If it's still not running, you need to find out why Check if xfs is set to start up at boot time # chkconfig xfs --list (the numbers refer to runlevels - it should be on for runlevels 2 to 5) If not, make it so: # chkconfig xfs on # chkconfig xfs --list If it's running, you should be able to start X.
