      * create a symlink with the name ''01-AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF'' (note the extra "01-" at the beginning) pointing to x2go-tce-whatever-name-you-chose.
      * After that, your ThinClient should boot the X2Go-TCE image.
      * Note that it is possible to use partial matching, so a symlink starting with "01-AA-BB-CC" would match all ThinClients with a MAC address starting with "AA-BB-CC" and so on.
      * For further matching options (IP-based, for example), please consult the pxeboot documentation. In short, it
should be possible (i.e. untested by us), but it a) requires you to assign static DHCP IPs and b) you need to translate the IP to its hexadecimal value and use that value as the symlink name, so e.g. 192.168.0.1 becomes C0A80001 -> x2go-tce.

+ ===== Troubleshooting a booted X2Go-TCE image ===== 
+ 
+ ==== You can see the X2Go login screen, but the screen size (resolution) is wrong ====
+ Determine the correct resolution for your screen and set boot parameter ''xorg-resolution=HRESxVRES'' accordingly, e.g. to ''xorg-resolution=1280x1024''
+ 
+ 
+ ==== You can see a text login screen with grey/white, green, and possibly red letters against a black background, or the screen is entirely black ====
+ 
+ If the screen is entirely black, try pressing [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F1] and see if that takes you to the text login screen.
+ 
+ If so, this means the X Server's autodetection failed.  There's not much you can do from inside X2Go-TCE at this point.  Shut down the ThinClient and try to boot a
different Linux distribution on it.  Try, for example, KNOPPIX Live Linux, other Distribution's Live Images (a recent Fedora or Arch, maybe?).
+ 
+ If you can get X running in one of these, proceed as follows:
+ 
+ In the running Linux where you have a working X Server on that particular hardware:
+   * change to a command shell
+   * try to run ''<nowiki>Xorg :$(($(ps -C Xorg -o args= | awk ' $2 ~ /^:[0-9]/ { print $2 }' | tr -d ':' | sort -n)+1)) -configure</nowiki>''
+   * if that fails, stop the currently running X server, then run ''Xorg -configure''
+   * this should output ~/xorg.conf.new, which could then be saved somewhere else (LAN share, USB stick, ...).
+

- FIXME This page is missing a section/subpage that
explains how to retrieve an xorg.conf from a different system.
- 
- Things to try: KNOPPIX Live Linux, other Distribution's Live Images (a recent Fedora or Arch, maybe?)
- 
- Basically, in the running Linux where you have a working X Server on that particular hardware:
-   * change to a command shell
-   * try to run ''<nowiki>Xorg :$(($(ps -C Xorg -o args= | awk ' $2 ~ /^:[0-9]/ { print $2 }' | tr -d ':' | sort -n)+1)) -configure</nowiki>''
-   * if that fails, stop the currently running X server, then run ''Xorg -configure''
-   * this should output ~/xorg.conf.new, which could then be saved somewhere else (LAN share, USB stick, ...).
  
  FIXME This page is missing a section/subpage that explains how to create images for USB/CD.
  
  Basically, proceed as shown for netboot above, but set LBX2GO_IMAGETYPE to iso or iso-hybrid (recommended).
