When you insert the USB stick/drive it should be detected correctly, but
it won't automount. Log in to one of the consoles and become root with
"sudo -i"
A few seconds after you connect it, run "fdisk -l"

These should lead you to the name of the partition on the drive (most
likely it will be sda1 or sdb1).

You can then mount this with "mkdir /mnt/tmp ; mount /dev/AS_ABOVE /mnt/tmp"

You can then copy the log file with "cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /mnt/tmp"

and finally unmount the drive with "umount /mnt/tmp"

Then put the usb drive into a working computer and mail the output. It's
probably a good idea to send it directly to me rather than post the
whole log to the list. I will reply to the thread with the appropriate
errors from the log.

Cheers,
