LTSP some LCD monitors hangs during init

[Christian Jorgensen]

Thanks for the reply, Gavin. 

Funny thing is that first of all i tried leaving out quiet splash from the
pxelinux.cfg/default after what the other monitors won't start either. After
'*Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)		[OK]', the cursor
blinks and nothing more happens.
If I press 'enter' i get a prompt: 

Ubuntu 7.10 ltsp tty1
ltsp login: 

,where i can only login as root.

OK maybe this will help: I log in as root and type 'startx'. This gives at
the end 'Fatal server error: no screens found

There is also some other (minor ?) parse errors in the Section "Monitor":
'Modelname	"CMC 17" AD"'
Looks like there is a quotation too many ? Could this be it ??

  
Otherwise:
I followed the procedure to get the settings that should work from the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and my lts.conf is now as follows:

###

[default]
X_HORZSYNC=30.0-60.0
X_VERTREFRESH=60.0-70.0
X_COLOR_DEPTH=16

But still with no result.
Your help is very much appreciated.

Regards,
Christian.

The latter is spelt incorrectly, it should be X_COLOR_DEPTH.  I presume you
got that right in the test?

I don't think it's waiting for confirmation.  It sounds like X
configuration has bombed out somehow.  These parameters seem worth trying
setting:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
X_HORZSYNC          min-max MHz             autdetected      use for
forcing X_MODE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
X_VERTREFRESH       min-max Hz              autdetected      use for
forcing X_MODE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
X_COLOR_DEPTH       2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32     32               set to 16bit
to save client mem
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------

If you can set the thin client root password and login to the client, you
should be able to see what values work (when you get it working by
unplugging the monitor) by looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

You can get a more verbose boot up by editing the file
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default and removing the words
"splash" and "quiet".
