Hello,
sorry for replying late
I am attaching a file as per you requested, containing my dhcpd.conf,
lts.conf and related XF* files
I have the color problem using vesa drivers on some computers. I don't
have the degause option on my monitors as they are quite old. Also I have
tried to copy 100dpi fonts from my ltsp server's fonts folder to the fonts
directory deep inside /opt/ltsp directory BUT this doesn't solve the
defragmented fonts problem. Any more ideas ? Plus as I mentioned I seem to
have old monitors and it is veryyyyy irritating to configure them. How do
I learn the secret art of modelines ?
Also during a client boot, (normally in my case) I get a lot of "Fatal error
screen not found", etc type of errors which refer me to /var/log/XFree86.0.log ,
but when I open that file on my server it seems to be the file generated by my
ltsp server having nvidia card. So there is normally no error in this file. There
seem to be no way that I can read the specified file from the client's log
architecture myself. Help needed.
I have a new question too. How can I enable/use the parallel port on my
diskless client computers. The problem is that we were conducting
hardware interfacing classes with C / C++ on DOS. Now since we are
shifting to Linux, I want to allow my students to interact with
parrallel port on their respective diskless computers. In the current
scenario, they seem to accidently land on the parallel port of the ltsp
server. Any help ? Thanks in advance.
