It sounds like you have Redhat then as you say runlevel 5 which is what it
uses, however slackware used to use runlevel 4 for X.
When changing the line;
id:3:initdefault: to;
id:5:initdefault:
You must make sure that at the bottom of inittab there is a line
"uncommented" saying something like;
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
That would be;
x1:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc.4
For slackware up to 3.6 possably higher versions as well but i cant be sure
as i dont have a higher version to check.
