The auto-detection of some display cards doesn't always work that well. You are right about setting up an lts.conf file. What you need to do is, log in as the admin user on the server, then press ALT+F2 to get a run dialog, and type: gksudo "gedit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf" Enter your password, you will then be editing a blank text file. Enter the following in that text file: # BEGIN TEXT FILE [default] XSERVER = vesa # END TEXT FILE The "vesa" driver is a slow, unaccelerated driver. But it's good for testing. Check which display chip the machine contains, here are some more examples of drivers you could try: ati cirrus cyrix fbdev i128 i740 i810 mga neomagic nv r128 radeon rendition s3 s3virge savage siliconmotion sis tdfx tga trident tseng vesa vga. hth. -Jonathan -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
