I am still experiencing this as well. I have tried running startx -- :1
In the first tty ( ctrl+alt+f1 ) as well as running it from a gnome- terminal and seeing what happens. Both have the same output: X.Org X Server 1.5.2 Release Date: 10 October 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-19-server i686 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux kozler-laptop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 Build Date: 24 October 2008 08:00:16AM xorg-server 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu3 (bui...@rothera.buildd) Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

When I ran it from a gnome terminal (startx -- :1) I had to run sudo for it to run. Either way, the output is the same. That output is from the terminal and nothing is written to .xsession-errors. I have also attached the XOrg log file. Computer Info: SYSTEM INFORMATION Running Ubuntu Linux, the Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) release.
