reinstall linux? heck no!
you have a file /etc/inittab which has the line:
id:5:initdefault:
change the 5 to 2. (oops, i think redhat might be 3. i don't use redhat
much. anyone?). be careful; you don't want to hose this file.
if that line contains a 2 or 3 (as opposed to 5), then xdm is being run from
a startup script. you have a file
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99xdm
^ ^^------------- this number may not be 99. doesn't matter.
| the important part is the "xdm" at the end.
again, this might
be a 3.
rename the file with a lowercase "s".
say good bye to graphical logins.

ps- graphical logins suck. ;)
