After testing runlevel 5 i noticed that I cant switch to text consoles. So I went back to runlevel 3, but now normal users cant use graphic environment. I just got a black screen and an error message: Xlib: connection refused by server, Protocol unsupported by server root can start xfce normally. Any idea about whats happenning?
