Thanks all. This certainly seems to be closer for me but I must still be missing something. Perhaps something broken from my previous attempts at this. :( I am on RedHat 7.1 I now have gotten far enough to get a grey screen on each of the ports I have tried but no login screen. I am getting a message like this in /var/log/messages each time I get a grey screen so I must be close. :) <date> <host> gdm[PID]: Failed to start X server several times in a short time period: disabling display:0 Any ideas on something I might have missed.?
