"x" respawning too fast: disable for 5 minutes
Right...

I am completely new to linux and wanted to give it a go...

I have just installed a complete fresh copy of Red Hat 9.0, the installation went fine...

So i am now running a system with windows XP and RH9.0

So... I started RH and everthing started to load up (all the green OKs and stuff) but then i get the error message 'Id "x" respawning too fast: disable for 5 minutes'. This message keeps repeating itself as many others have said.

So I check out some forums (and cant make a damn bit of sense out of any of it) and notice people having trouble to do with Geforce graphics cards... I have a Geforce 2 MX.

So... I've worked out how to log in in text mode as root, but dont know commands to run anything or download drivers etc...

What I really need is a step by step guide as of what to do! I hope this isn't a lot of work... but it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'd find any basic book on linux. The first program you will need is Lynx, which can get you onto the internet. Then you will most likely have to build the nvidia drivers.
