  ==== 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 so, this means the X Server's autodetection failed.  There's not much you can do from inside X2Go-TCE at this point.  Make a note of the MAC address (the GREEN text), 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, ...).
- 
+   * this should output ~/xorg.conf.new, which could then be saved somewhere else (LAN share, USB media, ...).
+   * once saved, shut down the ThinClient again.
+   * rename the saved xorg.conf.new to x2go-tce.xorg.conf.name-of-your-stubborn-hardware and place it in the x2go-tce directory of the tftp|http|https|ftp server you use to deploy your images.
+   * When using netboot: on your PXE/TFTP Server, create a separate configuration file "name-of-your-stubborn-hardware" for this hardware, based on the default file, and create a symlink matching "01-", followed by the first three out of the six bytes of your hardware address, each separated by "-" (say, 01-AA-BB-CC when the full MAC was shown as AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF), that points to the file "name-of-your-stubborn-hardware".
+   * In your boot configuration file, add the boot parameter
''xorgconfurl=tftp|http|https|ftp://your-http-server-ip-here/x2go-tce/x2go-tce.xorg.conf.name-of-your-stubborn-hardware''
