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?

Have you removed or altered the default 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts? Does your machine hostname resolve in DNS? Have you set selinux to strict instead of targetted, if it's enabled?

127.0.0.1 is defined as "localhost.localdomain localhost" in /etc/hosts The name resolves and selinux is disabled.

Are you sure about that? Note that when switching to a text console from an X session, you have to use [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Fn] instead of the [Alt]-[Fn] you'd use from a text console. From a text console, you can switch back to X with [Alt]-[F7].

Yes, Im pretty sure. I have used runlevel 5 since I started with linux 4 years ago. Ctrl Alt Fkey is ignored, or if an xterm is focused a "P" is displayed.
