I played with xvidtune and although there was a lot of play in the settings, and I was able to ameliorate the bad size/fit of the display, it didn't affect the ghosting/flickering thing. Also I tried another identical IBM desktop --same trio chipset same memory-- and it did the same thing. The

Flickering? Could it be that your modelines aren't what they should be? Wouter On 16-Nov-03 hazzmat wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >>Hazzmat, >> >>I've used lots of S3 cards with LTSP. >> >>You said you installed the ltsp_x336_s3 package. Did you also >>set XSERVER = XF86_S3 ?I'm gues

S3? No problem! I am using them at 800x600 for about 3 years now. However, most of the older S3 models simply don't have room for more than 1 Mb of on-board RAM and usually came with only 512 Mb. >From experience and for my needs I have determined that my thin clients at least have to be 486DX4/10

Hello, I have just made my first experimental install of LTSP. The server is Mandrake 9.0 and I used rpms from sourceforge as they seemed to install OK. The etherboot nic is a tulip lne100 from diskless workstations with onboard bootrom. Between the ws001 (which is an old p166 desktop w/32 MB o

If it works at 800x600 with 256 colors under windows, it should work under linux. You just need the right xserver and probably a modeline. A quick search on google leads me to believe that there may be a vga wonder server. You might try seaching around and see what you come up with. I'd be wil

I would be happy with 640 x 480 with 256 colors. When I run the machine with just Windows 95, I have it set at 800 x 600 with 256 colors.  Windows 95 identifies the video card as a ATI VGA Wonder.   Thanks!     Hersh CristinoTeacher Technology CoordinatorPawtucket School DepartmentPawtucket,

I'm sure somebody on the list can give you exact numbers, but I can tell you that you're not going to get very many colors or very high resolution with only 512k of video memory. I have some isa cards with 1 meg of memory on them, and I believe the best I can do is 800x600 with 256 colors. So I

I have been trying to get LTSP to work with the Old IBM Model 35.  (Our District has about 200 of these in a warehouse). The workstation has a VGA Charger Video Card with 512k Memory(ISA). I have only been able  to get the machine to work with XSERVER = XF86_SVGA and with X_COLOR_DEPTH = 8.
