[LI] Solutions for running X -windows in RHL 6.1

["Mahendra M" <karmah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Well the default link (in previous RHL releases) used to be 
/usr/X11R6/bin/X

    In RHL 6.1 the default link seems to be
/etc/X11/X
so if your X doesn't work in RHL6.1
create or overwrite the link /etc/X11/X manually
Do the following :-
#cd /etc/X11
#rm X
#ln -s ../../usr/X11R6/bin/"Your-Server" X
where "Your-Server" is your X-Server (without the quotes)
like XFree86-SVGA etc.

If still X doesn't work do the following
#vi /usr/X11R6/bin/startx

In this delete the ` $displayargs ' from the xinit option line
(This will be usually at the end of the file)
This Worked for me.
