I just upgraded to RedHat 4.0. from Redhat 3.0.3.  Now, when I run XFree86 using 
startx (in root), I get a blank graphic screen, with a simple default menu selection. 
 xinit brings up the graphic screen, and then goes back to the text prompt, with the 
message

xterm: no available ptys

Finally, using xdm, I can get the control panel, etc., but when I login as root, I 
get the same blank graphic screen/default menu again.  Again suggestions?
