Startx
I have tried to install and run both Conectiva and RedHat 9, both install fine I guess...yet once I login and try to get to the GUI, I type in "startx" (without the quotes) like a good little boy, yet in redhat(e) it gives me a big long error, and in Conectiva, it just makes the command prompt 1/4 screen size and the rest of the screen is taken up by a grey thing and the cursor is an X...what do I do????

Try running XF86Config and make sure your screen and video are properly configured...
