If you boot to run level 3 then X is not launched and you can work on configuring X so it will come up. One might start by running system-config-display. If that does not work then one looks at the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to fix the X problem. If you get to run level 3 and still can not get X to come up and report the errors people could help you further. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
