Would someone please fetch me up on Red Hat 7.2? I changed the gui to the text only gui and now I can't find the control to allow me to switch back to KDE or any other gui. I searched the web and RH, but couldn't find an answer. Thanks.

Try this, at the console type gdm this should bring up your graphical manager. And should let you load up a gui.

Thanks.
When I log in, TWM loads. I can get an xterm window and type gdm, but it aborts because it says the gdm is already running.
Any other ideas? Or did I misunderstand you?

To your solution, I added GSecur's, which as to

Edit your /etc/inittab. Find this line:

Change the 3 to a 5 and you will be presented with a graphical loging prompt, XDM, every time you boot up. |
The GUI login helped a lot.
Thanks to both for fetching me up...
