As mentioned in my most recent post, I've swapped desktop machines. I'm
mostly successfully using the "newer" installation, ENU-1. I have tried
running the older installation, ENU-2, but it's not showing the screens
(two monitors). I watch the initial startup text, then the Xubuntu
splash screen, then a "login" screen followed by a blank screen with a
cursor at the top left of each monitor, so I know the video is working.
The machine is up and running, since I can connect to it remotely and
access files. Where do I start to troubleshoot this one?
Thanks.

Start by going back to one screen. Disconnect the other screen from
the video card. If it comes up fully on one screen, attach the other
one and get the Display settings set correctly for the two screen
configuration.
No difference. Still get the initial screen that let's me choose from:
Ubuntu
Advanced options for Ubuntu
ELILO Boot Manager (on /dev/sda1)
System setup
I hit <Enter> and watch a blank screen for several seconds, then the
Xubuntu splash screen, then an option to long in via a terminal (I
presume), and then a blank screen with a cursor in the upper left corner.
I can still connect via Gigolo and get to all my files, but I don't get
a graphical login.
Thanks.
