@norgo had success with his testing branch iso so I burned the one frommavrothal wrote:If X tried to start and failed should produce a /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. Also the /initrd/tmp/dmesg.txt file could be informative and maybe the /initrd/tmp/bootinit.log file
my new woof-CE testing branch (yesterday afternoon) to a DVD and tried
it on a pc with intel graphics (X wouldn't start on my HP ATI Radeon)
and it works.
I'm booting from the DVD with a save file on the hard drive.

I'll try booting the DVD on the Gateway which has Nvidia graphics and
see how that goes.
EDIT: The DVD boots to the desktop on the Gateway but the resolution is wrong and the mouse is dead,ctrl-alt-backspace does nothing.
So recent commits have caused problems with Radeon and Nvidia graphics on my hardware.
