Tom,
You should be able to see what's going on with Xorg by setting:
SCREEN_01 = shell
Then, when you boot the client, you'll get a shell prompt. At that shell
prompt, type:
startx
That should build the xorg.conf file and launch the Xserver. when that
fails, you should be able to look in /var/log for the logfile. Or maybe
it was /tmp, I don't remember which.
If X doesn't crap out on you, you should be able to hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
to get it to die, then look for the log file.
Looking at your example modeline, I see a problem. A properly constructed
modeline should look like:
X_MODE_0 = 800x600 40 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync
In your example, you had: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
I don't think that will work with LTSP.
Hope that helps,
Jim McQuillan
