Re Q2. The most likely problem is the system is trying to load the wrong video
driver for that machine.
If you can determine which card the machine is using and what is the
appropriate driver to load, from the console
sudo vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
I think there is a friendlier editor available in Ubuntu. I can't remember the
name of it though (used to using vi).
Look for the Device section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64
Pro]"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
and check that it is a match for the graphics card in the machine.
It may also be a problem with the mouse section. I did something similar moving
from a system with a USB mouse to one with PS/2 and X wouldn't start untill I
changed the X11 config.
Typing
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
might sort it out automatically for you.

Subject: Re: [GPCG_TALK] Re: Thinking thin - howto X
can someone help me get thinner please.
i have an x-server program running on a windows98 box which mostly
accesses win2k via rdp.
i have vxl linux terminals which mostly access win2k via rdesktop.
i have a ubuntu linux box sitting on the network.
Q1. how do i log into an ubuntu x-windows session from my win98 x-server
or my vxl linux terminal?
Q2. when i put a preinstalled ubuntu linux hard drive into my win98 pc,
X goes into a panic and i get back to the command line login. I know
that if i did a new ubuntu install from the CD on that machine that it
would configure X correctly, but is there a way to do it from the
existing systems command line?
cheers,
hugh.
