Comment 2 RHEL Product and Program Management 2010-07-15 14:18:04 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Comment 3 Daniel Berrange 2010-07-15 16:32:53 UTC 
Please provide the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file showing the failed attempt to start X.
Comment 4 Nan Zhang 2010-07-16 07:56:26 UTC 
Sorry, it's not a real bug, because RHEL6 beta2 didn't install X window by default, and no any way to choose components during installing by user. Close it to NOTABUG.
