It would help to help you if you would provide some information. The GUI is provided by the program XFree86 which uses a configuration file usually called something like XF86Config. If you could post that file and the log file created by XFree86, it could provide a lot of information about what your problem is. Also, you could tell who distributes your version of Linux and what version of the distribution it is. Some examples of distributaions are Red Hat 7.2 or 8.0, Mandrake 7.0 and so on. Distributions are a clue as to where these files might be found. In Red Hat 8.0, they are found in /etc/X11/ and /var/log/, respectively.
