screen solution and PCI graphic cards

[Reiner Schmid]

Hello Oli,

a few weeks ago I told you, that I wanted to start a 
edubuntu-terminalserver-system in my classroom.

Before I installed it, I tested the functions of the server/client 
system at home with newer computer systems. They all have a AGP graphic 
card.
It works fine with screen resolution 1024x768 and higher.

But in my classroom I use old siemens-fujitsu-pcs PRO C5 SCENIC with 
onboard graphic chips like matrox 100 mga or cirrus CL_GD54  pci-cards.

With my old terminalserver (Kmlinux TSE) the possible screen resolution 
was 1024x768, but now with Edubuntu only 800x600 with 60 Hz? That is to 
low for working with the internet or with openoffice.

So I tried to change the dhcpd.conf file in /etc/ltsp and  also lts.conf 
in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc
-----------------------------------------------------------

authoritative;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.250;
  option domain-name "example.com";
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.254;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
  option routers 192.168.0.254;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

  filename "/ltsp/pxelinux.0";
  option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";

    

}
    host ws001 {
        hardware ethernet     00:0A:CD:08:65:33;
        fixed-address         192.168.0.25;
      
    }

-------------------------------------------

[Default] XKBLAYOUT         = "de"

[ws001]

        XSERVER            = cirrus 
	X_MODE_0 = 1024x768 
--------------------------------------
I also tried XSERVER =auto and XSERVER =mga for the other pci-cards, but the ltsp-scripts in /opt/ltsp/etc/init.d were stronger than my changes ;-)

I have no success, the screen resolution was always 800x600 with 60 Hz

Can you help me, please?
