Re: Wow, after weeks re-installing everything, I finally started x
when you are in X, use ctrl-alt-Fx instead of just alt-Fx to switch to a
virtual console.
i believe the command you want to start gnome with is gnome-session, if
you start X via startx you should put that command in your .xinitrc or if
you start X via xdm, put it in .xsession.
