Are you getting anything at all on the screen?

Maybe you are in text mode if so change the runlevel

in your /etc/inittab file, look for the following:

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not 
have
networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:5:initdefault:


if your installation has "id:3:initdefault:" you're booting 
into text mode.
