Here's how to fix that...
from root
nano -w /etc/inittab

go to where it says Default Runlevel

change the 3 to a 5

control x, yes to overwrite and exit.

I forgot what the kick command is that would initiate runlevel 5, but
I am sure someone here will fire that little ditty out..

That will now be your default starting when ever you reboot or restart
your server.

actually, everytime I turn on the computer, the log in is the text login
screen, then after I entered my username and password, I have to type startx
to start the xserver, that's the other thing I want to know how to make the
login directly to GUI.
