------------------------------------------
I have an SBC that I am trying to use for a file server. The system is 
using integrated Intel X3100 Graphics. However when I boot to the LiveCD 
the xserver fails to start (I just get a blank screen). Same with the 
vesa option. If I boot into text mode everything seems fine but if I 
startx I get:

Fatal server error:

I have tried:
/usr/bin/X11/Xorg -configure

/usr/X11/bin/xinit /usr/bin/dbus-launch gnome-session -- 
/usr/X11/bin/Xorg ?config /jack/xorg.conf.new :0

but get the same problem.

I have tried both the intel and vesa drivers.

How the heck do i go about fixing this?

Thank you.
-------------------------------------

When I try the intel driver instead of neatly failing I just get a blank 
screen that I cant escape from.

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace just seems to restart X back into the blank screen 
and I cant get into another session (ctrl-alt-f1,f2,f3,etc..)

i forgot to mention that this is how it usually happens, vary rarely can 
I get it to give me an error.

I can still ssh to the box though.

I attached the /var/log/Xorg.0.log as Xorg.intel.txt


For the vesa driver:
I did the whole /usr/bin/X11/Xorg -configure
then when in and manually changed /jack/xorg.conf.new to use the vesa driver

then I:
/usr/X11/bin/xinit /usr/bin/dbus-launch gnome-session -- 
/usr/X11/bin/Xorg ?config /jack/xorg.conf.new :0

and that at least caused X to Fails elegantly and give me a proper error,

Attached is the new Xorg.0.log as Xorg.vesa.txt

I made the recommended changes and was a blank screen again. Ive 
attached the new log as Xorg.modes.txt

I have tried a different monitor, just to eliminate possibility's and 
got same results, when X runs I get a nice "NO SIGNAL"

Can you X experts help me?
