Redhat 5 screen goes blank after typing startx command
Hi to all,
I am not able to start my linux system in init 5 mode. the screen goes blank. I have tried to start the gui mode by typing startx in init 3 mode. the same issue persists. System-config-display is not working in any case.  I have recently upgraded the system from RHEL 4 ES to RHEL 5 ES. the upgradation was successful. Please let me know the possible causes behind this and the resolution in this case.

Thanks a lot for your kind suggestion. I have used the command
system-config-display --reconfig it worked for me in case of RHEL5.. Last edited by vaibhav.kanchan; 08-01-2007 at 05:07 AM.
