For the XF86_FBDev driver to work, the kernel has to have support for the framebuffer device compiled in. This depends on which version of LTSP you are running, or whether you have compiled and tagged your own kernel or not. LTSP 2.09pre (latest) should have framebuffer support. You will need to do a search for MediaGX modeline on, say, Google, to find the correct modeline settings for 800x600 and others. Otherwise, the mediaGX doesn't work very well, or at all.
