Switching to Graphical Mode after Text based Install

1. At the "localhost login" prompt, enter "root". Press [ENTER]
   
   
2. At the root password (this was set during installation) and press [ENTER]
   
   
3. Type Xautoconfig and press [ENTER]. It will create the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set it up with the parameters necessary to run a graphical system.
   
   
4. Edit the file /etc/inittab. Look for the line that reads:

   id:3:initdefault:
   
   ... and change it to:
   
   id:5:initdefault:

5. Edit the file /etc/yaboot.conf and change the line that reads:

   append="rhgb quiet root=LABEL=/1"
   
   ... to ...
   
   append="video=ps3fb:mode:{YOUR VIDEO MODE} rhgb quiet root=LABEL=/1"

   
   Refer to various video modes for more information on how to get particular videos and which you should use.
   
   
   
6. Reboot your system:

   reboot [ENTER]

Your system will now start by default into a low resolutions graphical mode.
