I had sles 11 sp2 installed on my system some days back and it was running fine.  
Today after I restarted my system the gui is not coming up and system starts in command terminal.  
sax2 command returns error:  
[INDENT]  
sax: gui is missing, starting command line interface  
sax: no x-server running  
[/INDENT]  
and startx return errors like failed to load modules freetype, fbdev, kbd, mouse.

What might be the issue and how to resolve it?

Look at /var/log/messages for any errors.

Hi prupesh,

> What might be the issue and how to resolve it?

did the X server get as far as to log anything to /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
