Another option would be to start the GNOME display
manager (GDM) at boot time using /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh

how to start gnome ?


In the absence of a .xinitrc the default wm is executed (twm). Just
create a .xinitrc file in your home dir that contains the following:

exec gnome-session

If you're using xdm/gdm then you should put that in .xsession
