OK, it seems to be a problem in general with X.
Since you say it's a server, I assume you won't need hardware acceleration, so this may be an acceptable fix.
On the terminal (ctrl - alt - f2), type this
Code:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
Now, from here, you have two options:
1.
Code:
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Now, when you run kdm or startx, X will attempt to configure itself. This may or may not work well for you. For me, it configures itself well enough for compiz to run.
OR
2. You could instead try the "vesa" driver
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Mostly, default answers will be OK, but try the vesa driver when it asks you for a graphics driver. Alternatively, you could manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find the device for your graphics, and change the driver to vesa:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Ctrl - o (oh), Enter, Ctrl -X when you are done.
I don't know if you've ever said what kind of graphics card it had. If it's anything other than integrated intel, I'm unfamiliar with any bugs (as that's what I myself have)
Sorry for the delayed response, gaming beckoned me.
