If you've installed the X11 packages, then you should just need to
change your default "init" level from 3 to 5. Look at your /etc/inittab
file. Of course, if your X server isn't configured properly (and it'll
tell you if its having problems starting) then you'll have another
problem to fix. Luckily, you can try starting a manual X server from a
logged in user account via the "startx" command to make sure it will
work properly.
