Re: [coLinux-devel] Getting X to work natively

[Alejandro R. S. <as...@MI...>]

X won't run in the console, or using anything that requires a graphics
card. What's been done is to have a vnc server running X, and using
vncviewer to connect to it from windows. If it's not working at first,
check the logs it makes to help you find what's missing.

Good luck!
