After I login, the screen freezes, doesn't respond
to
any movement of the mouse nor input from the
keyboard.
This happen at any time in the first 5 minutes.
I've tried the vesa driver and the problem remains.

I thought that the problem is the way that gutsy is
using the ltsp. So, I tried to setup in the old
fashion. If I have a stable ltsp client running I
can
move my attention to the sound servers and try to
figure out why wavesurfer can't run on the thin
clients.

/opt/ltsp/i386       *(ro,no_root_squash,async)

Yes, Folder sharing service(nfs-kernel-server) is
checked.

Thanks for your advice, I'll try LDM and uppercase.
