Hello,

I just got a new Windows 10 PC at work and I can't seem to get X to start. Here is the log file:
$ cat /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log
Welcome to the XWin X Server

It then hangs there. I googled the error, looked in the FAQ and the mailing lists archives but could not find anything relevant.

Thanks for your help.
