** Description changed: This morning I got a 'display cannot be determined' popup when I booted. On hitting Enter I got another popup with a menu prompting for an action. However I had no mouse pointer and the keyboard did not respond to Space, Tab, arrows or Enter so I could not actually make a choice. Hitting Escape got me out of it and the machine continued its boot sequence, but with errors and without a display manager. After logging in on a text console I ran 'startx' with no problems. Why I got the error in the first place is another question. It is possible that I did not switch on the monitor early enough :-) Severity: not something that a newbie would be able to handle.
