I've never seen a C2 machine yet.  What are the relevant
hardware changes?

And, what build are you using?  Trial3 is X 1.3, joyride is
X 1.4.

If it's Trial3, try this:

  umount /home/olpc/.Xauthority

Nobody I asked really understood why, but it fixes a lot of
strange "X not starting" problems people reported to me by
random people.

So I made .Xauthority a plain file in joyride (I still have
to move to a writable location such as /tmp).
