Lookup xfree86.org there is some write up there for modelines. Best of luck is all I
can say as I have also had limited success using trial and error.

This means that the screen section is not properly configured. I do not
know where the log is but be very clear that most of the ltsp files are
on "/opt/ltsp/i386:" root.

Again the file you are to look at is not the server /etc/X11/XF**** but
the root as described above.
I am in the same boat. I am attaching the file for a 486 that I
generated. I have made a directory /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11 on the server
and all X configuration files are being stored there. Note that the
modelines have been written for two or three dotclock speeds. The
monitor manuals are not available so I find that writing multiple
modelines helps as the best dot clock is picked up. Also the actual
clock speed is always reported nearby to the speed on the modeline. This
is something I have not sorted out.
The second question is better dealt with some one more knowledgeable. I
have some thing similar needed in making the serial port available as
this can facilitate users to sync their palm's.
