John, I've got a new answer and I think it is the best way to handle this. It turns out that you just need to tell XFree86 4.1.0 to use less memory on the video card. You noticed that it was trying to use 8192k of memory and reported that only 3068 was available. So, the thing to do is tell X

Many thanks for the rapid replies. It was easiest to insert 64Mb RAM, and the Book PC works fine on that. Still very noisy though, that's probably what killed it as a "Home Entertainment Centre". I'll try the other suggestions when using up the leftover 32Mb RAM! John ___

John, Are you sure the i810 is the one you need? Did you try and add modest X_MODE_0 and X_COLOR_DEPTH options to experiment with? You can always increment their values afterwards up to the point where the errors start showing again. Then you will know you squeezed the maximum out of your scr

Hi, I'm new to this list, and fairly new to Linux and LTSP, but I hope someone can answer this. For my terminal I'm using a BK-01 Book PC with 400MHz Celeron and 32Mb. After adding the line XSERVER = "i810" in lts.conf, my Book PC boots up and starts loading X, but then the screen flashes before
