I'm only getting a text console with CentOS-7.2 on my (oldish) HP MicroServer.
The only explicit error I see in Xorg.0.log is that no driver is found for my Pixart USB optical mouse.
My query is: would that be sufficient to prevent a graphic console?
Incidentally, I can use X apps, eg xpdf, if I ssh in from my laptop.
As always, any advice gratefully received.

That should not prevent X from starting .. though you could try another standard mouse and see. But X should start even without a pointing device.

What's the default target? # ls -l /etc/systemd/system/default.target

I wouldn't think so. Could you put the log on pastebin or similar?

Definitly not. X is able to run even with no input device at all (mouse, keyboard, and so on). Most of the times, X refuses to start because of missing or inappropriate video drivers.
