Hello friends, I am using RHEL5.1, Problem:After successful installation of Linux(graphic & text) my system gets hang-up stage. but works well in run-level 3,and fails to load in run level 5. The real thing that happens is, after selecting from grub, system starts-up and loads all the services successfully then normally it should go for root log-in screen, instead of that mouse cursor displays at the center of the screen & when i try to move the cursor it's moving with a delay of 15-20 seconds and system gets very slowly. I tried almost all that i know(init 5, startx).I also user different Cd's to install.

Please help me out of these problem.

It could be a problem with Xorg configuration/drivers. What's your video card? Have you google'd for similar issues with your card? /var/log/Xorg* logs can also bring some insights.

So you are not able to start into the (default)runlevel 5(graphical mode). You are not able to start the desktop(KDE,Gnome,etc..). Check your System for errorlogs, (generated when trying to enter runlevel 5), mostly placed under /var/log Reason could be your Hardware(Graphiccard not supported or old driver etc..)

I think schmidi100's answer is correct. look at https://hardware.redhat.com/ to see if your hardware is supported by rhel. otherwise you will have to compile display drivers or something. But firstly look at why your X is not starting (check your log files at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/messages)
