Can't get in RH 7.2

After logging in Red Hat 7.2 by typing startx I get execv failed for /etc/x11/x. How can I fix this?

I've reinstalled redhat 7.2 several times because I had a tough time getting through the login (I just experienced linux a 3 hours ago). But now, after getting through login, I got faced with that error.

My suspicion is that I didn't format the drive when I reinstalled Red Hat 7.2.

When I tried to fdisk the drive, it can't get recognized. I tried dong fdisk /mbr, but nothing happens. Help.

also, my video card (Kyro II 64mb) and monitor wasn't recognized during the installation process. Also, there's a linux driver available on the powervr website, but I'm going to install it after I get in Red Hat 7.2

Hi,

You have a definate problem with your x-server. I don't know a thing about Kyro vid cards, but I suspect that's where the problem is. I think you will need to get the driver for your card installed be for you can get X up and running.

HTH,
OOPS!
