I am testing it on a C5 x86_64 machine.  First, I needed to uninstall
the existing nx-2.x to install the new nx-3.x.  Otherwise, I get an
error:

unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/NX: cpio: rename

Now, nx-3 has been installed but does not work.  I get connected but
with a black screen.  After 1 minute or so, the whole thing
disappears.

Any suggestions?
