Thanks Horst,
That helps with updating the vidlist with knowledge of the device.   But 
the via driver still doesn't work for this device at that version.  And 
that is the bigger problem. I had already manually configured the via as 
the xserver in lts.conf and found that via didn't work for this device.  
I have looked around at the various groups that have been working on 
drivers for this card and have tried one of them which also didn't 
work.  There have been quite a few structure changes to Xorg since this 
4.2 ltsp and I was hoping that some one had a newer driver (binary) 
available  compatible with this ltsp version.  Any idea about where to 
find a newer via binary that might work with ltsp 4.2.  I don't think 
that it would be easy to try to take a driver for the newer Xorg 
structure and backport it what was used for the 4.2 ltsp.  Any thoughts 
on that?
Thanks again
Tim
