So I was able to invoke gdb from my backup computer via ssh. gdb /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg and within gdb run introduced an attempt to start the X server. The logging is attached. I do not know whether it contains a hint what is going wrong. Perhaps the line "Cannot open /dev/tty0" are due to usage of gdb. Maybe necessary configuration information to analyse the situation ~$ ls -l /dev/tty0 crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 0 Jul 22 21:46 /dev/tty0 grep tty /etc/group tty:x:5: Best regards Markus
