I followed these instructions to set up a GUI for the server: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/228 Whenever I open up Firefox and have it on for a short period of time, it seems to crash. The same happens when I try to open eclipse and try to Install New Software, with this error message appearing in the terminal: Xlib: extension “RANDR” missing on display “:1.0”. This message appears a little before the crash happens, so I am not too sure if it is related.
Currently using Ubuntu 12.10. What could be wrong?

There doesn’t seem to be an xorg.config file in the X11 directory. Should I create one?
