> I had a RH 9 box that booted up into Xwindows on startup.  It worked
> fine for months with only the occasional shutdown for maintenance.
> Last week we had a power outage and now when it boots up it comes to
> the text login prompt, then the screen flashes like its trying to go
> into GUI mode, but it stays black for a few moments then flashes back
> to the text prompt.  If I log in from the console it continues to
> flash the screen like its trying to start the GUI but never does.
> Every other proces on the box is running good, its my backup machine
> and DNS server.  I don't need X but would like to have it back.
> Anyone have any ideas, and if not how can I get it to stop trying to
> go into GUI screen mode?
