Thanks for responding. I really don't know why I have the problem my computer is a Dell computer with the standard parts. I am not sure that your fix will work for me. I am using the computer remotely and am still looking for a solution.

I was also successful with 7 computers, however they run version 6.7. For some reason this one computer upgraded to 6.8 and Xorg does not work. I also changed to 3 different terminals and it did not help. I am not giving up yet.
