The older Trident cards require an X-server that comes with XFree86 3.x. I believe LTSP 3.0 defaults to XFree86 4.x. Make sure you have XFree86 v3.x on your server, use it and the default SVGA server to get X up and running, then fine tune it.
Truthfully, the quickest way to get your X-server running is to use a more recent pci card -- even a year or two more recent than the Trident. I have wasted a lot of time on older isa components. X also looks better on a good standard pci card.

I have had no success with configuring isa cards period. I can connect to the LTSP 3.0 running runlevel 3 to get to the Bash prompt, but can not run X windows.

If some one has a config file for this that would be great! If no one does then what steps do I need to configure X to work with this card in LTSP. I am new to Linux, so I need pointed to the right documentation. I have search this discussion list for information and what you see in lts.conf file above is what I extracted from the list. I guess basicly what I would like to know is what are the steps to config an ISA Video card? I wish the ISA cards would work as well as the PCI Video card. ;-) > >Thanks >-Glenn > > >------------------------------------------------------- >This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek >Caffeinated soap.
