Greetings, We recently purchased a new Dell PowerEdge low-end server to use with our LTS Project. Thinking that I would set up everything with the "latest and greatest" distro's, I installed Red Hat 8.0 and the following ltsp packages:
ltsp_core-3.0.7-0.i386.rpm ltsp_kernel-3.0.5-0.i386.rpm ltsp_x_core-3.0.4-0.i386.rpm ltsp_x_fonts-3.0.0-0.i386.rpm The workstations are all old (purchased by the pound) Dell P133 with 16MB of RAM. The video card is an S3_Trio64 which seems to work with the older S3 drivers (ltsp_x336_s3-3.0.0-0.i386.rpm). Everything seems to work; the lts.conf file assigns the values for the video card, and the workstation boots, X starts and a login prompt appears, but the keyboard and mouse are non-functional at that point. I've tried changing the runlevel to 3 and the keyboard and mouse work fine-just not under X. I've got plain old PS/2 style keyboards and mice on these units and I'm using the standard (/dev/psaux) for the mouse in the lts.conf file. If I tail -f the /var/log/messages file during the boot, I will sometimes see something like this: gdm[865] (child 1059) gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting ws004 ...Although this does not always appear. Whether the above message appears or not, I can see the cursor flashing in the login box, indicating that X hasn't totally locked up. I can also ping the workstation's IP address without fail. The above is a test configuration and not in the live environment, but I would like to roll this unit live soon. Has anyone run into a similar issue? I've done the normal internet scour and come up empty-handed. Thanks in advance! Steven G.
