Recall I first ran a ltsp_initialize script in which I modified the Red Hat bits to accommodate Gentoo. I got as far as the gray screen with X cursor.
Then I installed David Snopek's unofficial Gentoo-based ebuild on top and XFree86 reported no devices detected and no screens. After exhausting all trouble-shooting suggestions, I did a recursive removal on /tftpboot and /opt/ltsp and then a clean install of LTSP using Snopek's ebuild. (Note: there's no ltsp_initialize script to run in this case; there are no templates necessry.) I also changed the display manager from xdm to kdm. I still don't have a graphical display, but now XFree is getting hung up on not being able to write to /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Indeed, the log file is not being written to (as it also wasn't with the prevous installs) although syslog does have its remote option set and this is being acknowledged in the console screen output. I searched the mailing list but found nothing helpful about this log file. The file's permisions are the same as all the other log files in /var/log so it seems that it's available for being written to. I've not found any clues on the XFree86.org web site and their discussion list is not searchable. Does anyone know how this log file gets written? > My undertanding is that with gray screen and x your XF86Config file is > near ok. did you netstat -anp | grep 177 to see if gdm binary is > running..
