Does it hang as in the computer hangs, or does it hang like
in you dont see your desktop (Gnome/KDE)?
Perhaps its not configured to start a desktop, so just X starts?
Just guessing though..
Hello Kent,
No the computer itself does not hang. Just X. I can do a
crtl-alt-backspace and exit out. All I get is the X cursor.
In runlevel 5, it starts gnome.
Thanks!!
