Hi
I our computer lab with refurbished thin clients we have different sorts
of CRT screen. Mostly they have sizes between 15 and 17''.
Now we have some 17'' screen which get auto detected with a resolution
of 1600x1200 during the thin client start.
Like I know from previous ltsp versions, the resolution modes can be
defined in /opt/ltsp/i368/etc/lts.conf, like this:
X_MODE_1="1024x768"
X_MODE_2="800x600"
I did this but without any success up to know. I checked the client
boots script /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/ltsp-client-setup witch is doing
the graphical setup, and found the following lines inside:
<snip>
X_MODE=$( echo "$X_MODE_0 $X_MODE_1 $X_MODE_2" | sed -r 's/ +/, /g;s/,
*$//g')
if [ -n "$X_MODE" ]; then
preseed $xserver_package/config/display/modes "$X_MODE"
fi
</snip>
So it looks like this is supported by Feisty!
I also tried directly from the client (CRTL-ALT-F1) this command:
echo 'set xserver-xorg/config/display/modes 800x600' |
debconf-communicate xserver-xorg
With the hope that after a restart of X11 (CRTL-ALT-BACKSPACE), the
client will choose 800x600 as his resolution, but I only got this error
message:
debconf: DbDriver "config" could not write
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat-new: Read-only filesystem
Addistionaly I tried the same on the server:
1.) chroot /opt/ltsp/i368
2.) echo 'set xserver-xorg/config/display/modes 800x600' |
debconf-communicate xserver-xorg
This time without an error message. I figured out that I get applied in
/opt/ltsp/i386/var/cache/debconf/config.dat.
But still there is no effect on the client screen after a reboot.
The only thing, what was helping is this manually way, which must be
done after reboot ;-(.
1.) login on the client as root (CTRL-ALT-F1)
2.) edit with vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3.) delete all not needed modes
4.) restart the X11 screen (CRTL-ALT-BACKSPACE)
May somebody can assist here?
