Xubuntu on Tablet

I'm trying to install Xubuntu on an old Fujitsu Stylistic 3500, and I'm not having much success.  It doesn't come with a CD drive, so I had to pull the HD and install using another system.  Did that, put the HD back in the tablet, powered it on and after a couple minutes I get an error saying that X-Server couldn't start.  All I could do was press okay, and then I got a blank screen with a blinking cursor. 

I tried to type a few commands, but it didn't seem like it was able to run anything.  Is installing Xubuntu on this machine just not going to happen?

Re: Xubuntu on Tablet

The video chipset is deffernt from the one you installed xubuntu on.
You will have to run "xorgconfig" or put the right video driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

You might want to try unbuntu forums as this is a bit outside the scope of this forum.
