You can try pressing CTRL-ALT-F1 to get a console window, then login as root, and do:

 

service dm restart

 

and see if it switches to the graphical login. If not, press ALT-F7 and that would switch it, but normally when I restart this service, it automatically goes to this console window for the GUI.

Thanks for all the help guys. I was hoping thiat I could get hitting the space bar to work but it didn't for me. However the above worked and as long as I don't reboot, it continues to work for me. Thanks again for everyones help

What display card do you have? and what's the output of this run in terminal:

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "Driver"

 

Check this out: http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=86985 especially RJ549's posts.

 

 

This is what I get when I type in the cat command

 

[root@localhost]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "Driver"

Driver "kbd"

Driver "mouse"

Driver "fglrx"

 

I must say I don't know exactly what that means. My display card is an ATI.
