Have you tried hitting <ctrl><alt><F7> when you see this screen?  I have
yet to understand this behaviour myself but ferquently thin clients seem to
boot to the text terminal instead of showing the X output (even though X is
started).

Actually, if someone knows the answer to this and how to fix it I'd be
mightily interested.
