Hey Its me again, just got back to working on this project and its.. well not working. I have done the following sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install nvidia-glx-new ###Installs ok (I have tried nvidia-glx as well) sudo ltsp-update-image -a i386 Restart Clients, they only see nvidia-settings , non of the other nvidia tools. I have tried a few other nvidia-packages using this method, but non show up on the clients terminal. My plan was to use these tools to setup my xorg.conf file. If I just made anybody facepalm I apologize ;-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2331862131/ Carl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
