Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu won't work on my Dell

[Peter Shepherd]

It boots, but does not load the X system.  No error messages.

I can log in OK, then it goes to the flash screen, and each part appears to
load properly until the end when it should open up to the desktop, it just
sits there.

My version of Kubuntu, etc.  is Intrepid.  I have not tried any of the older
versions yet.

'll have to wait till I get home this evening to try out your suggestion.
Please explain how to load x.org and copy it over - I am definitely not a
computer expert.

Also, I gave my daughter a used Dell Precision laptop, and loaded it with
Kubuntu.  It works perfectly, except everything (panels, icons, font, etc.)
is too small.  I tried changing the display parameters, and it helps until I
reboot, it goes back to small.
