Well you got me stumped then ... usually this is one of the acid tests ... if you are having problems with the GUI installer not bringing up the initial display ... usually if you get things fixed so you can run xclock you should be able to get farther along ( before possibly failing later ).
Are you running xserver client software on a different machine ( like your pc ... we use reflection x here but there are a number of different windows based solutions or some things like linux it is pretty much baked in ) and exporting the DISPLAY from a server session over to the client and catching it on the client? That's a pretty common way of doing installs. Received on Sun Apr 19 2009 - 17:56:57 CDT
