as part of the above referenced post i found that setting SCREEN_02 =
shell for troubleshooting didn't work, setting SCREEN_01 to startx gave
GDM but I could not type to the screen. I found a link to a possible
bug, hence changing to SCREEN_07:

I'm using an old Dell Optiplex GX1, (we have 100+ of these for £15 each
so can't be bad). But should be a detectable card... shouldn't it? I'll
check in the morning what card they use.
