[K12OSN] Issues with two terminals - xserver fails / Matrox Millenium II

[Petre Scheie]

You access /tmp/mnt/xorg.log file that it refers to via the client, not the server.  If 
you press Ctrl-Alt-F2 on the client, you'll get a command prompt, and then you should be 
able to find /tmp/mnt/xorg.log.
