What may be happening here is that the computer was still booting up when
you logged in.  Next time you boot up just let the machine sit there for
a while after you see the login prompt.  After a while the screen may go
blank and then come back with a graphical login.  If the computer screen
does not come back after a few seconds hit any key to wake it up and you
should be back at your prompt.  At this point you might try Alt+F7 to
see if the xserver is running on VT7.
