Either use the xdm command and then go to virtual terminal 7 (ctrl+alt+f7) or type startx and the prompt. That should load the X-Windows GUI.

before you try on the startx command, remember to configure your X window setting by using the command "Xf86config". select the appropriate VGA driver and resolution. Then only use the "startx"
