Just a guess (WAG)- and I'm very new to linux and the others are much
more experienced, but I recall reading about perhaps configuring the
correct [$DISPLAY:0] parameter(?) somewhere in the one of the config
files for X (XF86Config-4 - or perhaps the /etc/inittab file (?)).
It just that it would seem the client is misconfigured, since you seem
to suggest you can login to *other* clients and distros.
