Mike,
It would be helpful if you can attach the messages output by startx when it works and when it doesn't. You can then diff them, and see if it reveals anything.
I installed RedHat 6.1 a couple months ago, and haven't seen any problems like this. I use the gnome graphical style login instead of the shell style login.
If you want to try the graphical login, you should be able to invoke the graphical login from LILO by typing 'linux 5'.
Regards,
Sam

Subject: startx ?
I have recently installed Red Hat 6.1 it boots up to the shell prompt
and
when I type:
"startx" about 85% of the time I will not get to the x-windows session
and
the other times I will. I do not understand this flackiness. I would
appreciate any help that you have.
Thank You
Mike Blanco
