Mike
I did some more thinking/tinkering and think that what Brian says makes more sense
Not sure if you remember but when I was trying to get PyHoca working on a chrooted Ubuntu environment on the nook color tablet I was also getting the RandR error in the logs.
Initial authentication would work but before I'd see any remote display it would crash.
My environment was an Android tablet, chrooted Ubuntu running LXDE so it was running Ubuntu's x-server at the time.
I was able to ssh -X (via the xterm that the webos-internals have packaged for the touchpad) and was able to successfully start lxde without any segfault or any major issues. So, it seems that as Brian suggests it is more a problem of the xserver in the chrooted Debian than it is a problem of the webos Xserver.
In essence, I've found a solution for now. Thanks again for your help and your work on the x2go packages, I'll still be using them from my other windoze and linux machines.

Mike,
Thanks for your help. I think I may know why this isn't working. The Xserver is one that the webos-internals group has put together to run on top of the touchpad's OS (webos) and they haven't really included RandR support yet. This is what I found on the git for their Xserver,
"We just enable it, and report the single resolution we support. (Doesn't allow setting rotation/sizes/reflections yet)"
Do you think this is what would cause all the issues trying to get an x session to work?
I tried most of the things you suggested with the x2goclient and it segfaulted on all of them.
The only thing that I was able to get to work was opening an lxde session inside of Xnest. And even for that, it ran slow, complained about RandR missing, and eventually crashed (couldn't find in the logs why though).
I'll try and see if the webos-internals guys have plans to further implement RandR. I have other options since rdesktop seems to work, but would prefer to use x2go.
Very good debugging!!! This absolutely smells like your pad's Xserver does not support the full X specification. This is probably the problem here.
Keep us up-to-date if you find new solutions etc.!!!
Thanks, Mike
