After you log into the console, type:

        startx [ENTER]

This will start the X-Windows system. If you have not set up X-Windows, you
will need to set it up with:

        Xconfigurator [ENTER]

This is the easiest X setup program to use (my opinion). You will be presented
with a full screen display in text mode. Follow the prompts, and answer the
questions. Xconfigurator will do the rest, but you will need to know about your
video card, your monitor, and your mouse.
