Cannot show graphical login display
Hi all,
I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6.3 Santiago.
I already installed the X Window package during installation and the graphical login display can be shown normally after installation.
Yesterday, I accessed remotely by GUI mode using VNC viewer and somehow it got crashed.
After that, I reboot, and after the RHEL 6.3 loading, it doesn't show the GUI login display, it just show blank screen.
However, I can still access remotely by terminal mode using putty.
When I change the /etc/initstab from 5 to 3 and reboot it, it can show the terminal mode login after rebooting.
However, when i change the /etc/initstab back to 5, it will show blank screen after the rebooting.
I tried to reinstall GNOME desktop environment using following command, but it still doesn't work:
yum reinstall "@X Window System" @Desktop
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

a welcome message.
nodate
Don't display the date of the last login.
noterm
Don't display the terminal name on which the last login was attempted.
nohost
Don't indicate from which host the last login was attempted.
nowtmp
Don't update the wtmp entry.
noupdate
