You may be able to find out what video card you have using: $ /sbin/lspci Also, after booting into runlevel 3, log in as a regular user and try this: $ startx &> x.output This will provide diagnostic output in file x.output. Look in the file for lines starting "(EE)" for error messages. Paul. Hi, I have found that the card is a JetWay 94V but when I set the value to JetWay I still have no luck! I am still getting the respawning error: INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes when I do an init 5. When I run your /sbin/lspci it tells me the graphics card is: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82740 (i740) AGP Graphics Accelerator (rev 21). even with the controller in system-config-display set to JetWay. The error I am getting seems to relate to a line at the end of my inittab file which reads: # Run xdm in runlevel 5 x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon could this be causing a problem? Thanks in advance, Andoni.
