I went through your how to for the Nvidia driver and when I got to step 9 I hit a wall. There is no System.map in my "linux-2.4.19" source directory. I'm running RedHat 8.0 using LTSP and of course it is working. Now on step 6 when I do "make menuconfig" I just exited and saved the config without touching anything. I assumed that the .config I copied into the source would select everything I needed. Although I couldn't do step 9 I did step 10 and 11. When I boot the workstation it says
loading: nvidia
modprobe: error can't find nvidia.
I'm guessing once step 9 is done it should find it and work.

release it till I was certain that the NVidia license would be violated.
In light of this, heres an excerpt from the howto I included in the
package.
NVidia OPENGL howto
Had a few spare hours and though I'd see how well openGL works with
ltsp,the results are great. Of course the client needs a supported video
card with an NVIDIA chipset, in this case the client was a PIII-1000
with a 64Mb Asus V7100 pro video card and 256Mb of memory, the poor
owner was waitingfor a new hard drive.
You will also want plenty of memory on the workstation, anything more
than 48Mb should be fine.
I managed to play flightgear and quake2 and they worked great, I
benchmarked gltron averaging 34fps with a network load around 3Mb/sec
for 1024x768 resolution. This was on a 100M switched network. I ran top
on the ltsp server (PIII-600) while playing quake2 demo, %CPU didnt go
over 50%.
Remember you may be breaking licensing agreements by running some
commercial games on multiple workstations at the same time. Please
ensure you dont.These people are good enough to support our operating
system so give them some support and do the right thing.
Of course sound is still on the server.

MANUAL HOWTO
----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
1. Get the latest NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX tarballs from
www.nvidia.com
2. Get the current ltsp_kernel from www.ltsp.org, for the purposes of
this I will assume you are using ltsp_kernel-3.0.5-i386.tgz which is
2.4.19
3. Get the appropriate ltsp_initrd_kit, you will need the kernel config
file from this, for the kernel above you would get
ltsp_initrd_kit-3.0.5-i386.tgz
4. Get the appropriate kernel source, in this case
kernel-source-2.4.19.tar.gz
5. Gunzip/Untar everything in /usr/src
6. Copy the appropriate config file from the ltsp_initrd kit to the
kernel source as .config
cp config-2.4.19-ltsp-1 /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.19/.config
cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.19
make menuconfig (or config)
make dep
7. cd to the NVIDIA_kernel directory and do as follows
make clean
make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.19/include/
It will make the nvidia.o kernel module and give an error because it
probably wont insert cleanly on your host machines kernel.
8. Copy the nvidia.o to /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.4.19-ltsp-1
cp nvidia.o /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules/2.4.19-ltsp-1/
9. Now you have to run depmod on the modules
depmod -b /opt/ltsp/i386 -aev -F \
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.19/System.map 2.4.19-ltsp-1
So modprobe can sucessfully laod it in the ltsp boot scripts.
10. Now we cd to the /usr/src/NVIDIA_GLX and type in
make ROOT=/opt/ltsp/i386
This will install the NVIDIA glx modules in your X4 tree in the ltsp
root.
We then have to install it on the server. Opengl simply wont work if
you dont have the same libraries on the server and the client.
make
11. Edit your lts.conf file, heres an example config for a ws
[ws001]
MODULE_01 = nvidia
XSERVER = nvidia
X4_MODULE_01 = dbe
X4_MODULE_02 = glx
Hopefully thats it, boot the workstation and good luck.
