I'm not sure if this problem is related to Xfce, Xorg or my hardware... However, when I try to open the Terminal X crashes and I end up back at the login screen. I also can't get to a terminal via ctrl-alt-F2 etc because it leaves me with multi colored vertical lines on my display..

I'm pretty positive I have Xorg configured correctly.

I was running Xubuntu with no problems at all.

The machines specs are:

Gateway Essential

Socket 370 Celeron 600

256MB RAM

15GB HDD

Intel i810E 12 MB Graphics (lshw reports 64MB?)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Find 'DefaultDepth' and change the value from 24 to 16.
