I just upgraded my PC from RH6.0 to RH7.0. Under 6.0 I had it setup so that users log 
in from the console and then "startx" to get into X (runstate 3). I know, old 
technology, but it worked. 

Anyway, with the upgrade I accepted runstate 5 as my defualt so I would get a gui 
login. We'll I login at the gui interface, the screen flickers and then returns me to 
the login screen (still the gui one). If I do a cntl-alt-F1 bing! I'm back to the 
console as expected and can log into any of my accts.

If I switch initab so that I'm back to runstate 3, startx works fine and all is well. 
Any ideas why I cannot get to the accts through the gui login?

I have another machine that came with linux pre-installed (RH6.2) and has always been 
running with Runstate 5, and the upgrade didn't effect that at all.

Thanks in advance
