I do not think this is an issue but latest greatest OO is 2.1(?)

32mb is low and without swap is likely to create problems even when
browsing, especially flash sites.

The syntax here depends on version of LTSP in use. Newer versions need
something like nbd swap...rather than nfs swap

So add the resolutions in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Basically add
Screen section should look like:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Generic Video Card"
Monitor "SyncMaster"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
With this in place you can use key combination of "ctrl"+"alt"+"+" to
toggle between various resolutions.You can also reduce default color
depth to 16 to save on vid-ram.
