Re: Regarding starting X server

Hi Nisha, it might be the problem with PAM authentication. Add the
following lines in the /etc/pam.d/xserver
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_console.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_permit.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_permit.so

For more info on PAM see
