Logged ss root, you have to modify /etc/inittab with an text editor such
as "vi" or "joe":
Ex.
vi /etc/inittab
press Insert key
go to the line "id:3:initdefault:"
replace 3 with 5
press Esc key
press :wq<Enter>
Now all should be ok.
Note: You must be sure that your XWindows system works perfectly before
to make these modifications in inittab file.
Cata.
