What error it throws?
When you try to login as root?
Actually loging as root in gui is not recomanded.

You can add another user and try loging in with that.

# useradd someone

# passwd someone

Open Terminal and execute this

su -
nano /etc/inittab

Replace id:3:initdefault: with id:5:initdefault:
Press Ctrl+X, Y and hit Enter key to save file. Reboot machine.

Which Graphics Card do you have?
Execute this

lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hi devils casper and b2bwild,

in my /etc/X11 directory i have below files only...
1)applink
2)fontpath.d
3)prefdm
4)Xdm
5)Xinit
6)Xmodmap
7)Xresources
when i am trying to execute your commands iam getting the output is
"No such file or directory"

Is your X-server working?

Get into "init level 3", then run "startx" whilst logged in as root. If you get a gnome desktop then we know that the X-server is working ok.

Also I don't think fedora 10 allows root login in "init level 5" (thats via the gui login screen)

In the new versions of xorg you don't always need an xorg.conf (it tries to work the settings out dynamically), but I prefer to have an xorg.conf - a lot less hassle IMO

If you want to generate an xorg.conf I thing you run "X -configure" as root in init level 3. That should give you a basic xorg.conf based on what it thinks is going to work/detected (I think it puts it in the home directory for root). You can then move that to /etc/X11 and customize it.

You have to create xorg.conf file manually. We have to check your Graphics Card first.
Execute this

su -
lspci | grep -i vga

Hi devils casper,

out put of the below command

su -
lspci | grep -i vga

output :
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller:
Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)


And also manually create grub.conf file and moves into /etc/X11/

Again iam getting the same blur screen after executing the stratx command as a normal user...
