OK. the first thing you need to do is setup X to operate. boot Linux and
login at the prompt. It the system tries to start x press Ctrl+Alt+Bkspace.
This will kill x. Then type Xconfigurator and configure X with your video
card and monitor., After you successfully do this X should work fine.

I have finally installed Linux Red Hat 5.2 much to my delight. Problem is
when i try to run Xwindows i get the following error.

A "Display" subsection is required in each "Screen" section.
_X11 TransSocketUNIXConnect:Can't connect:errno = 111 giving up.
xinit:Connection refused(errno111): unable to connect to X server
xinit:No such process (errno 3): server error.

I am very new to Linux but very interested in using it and would feel more
comfartable using a GUI. Any help on this matter would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Mal
