I added this to /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf:
[default]
# Limit the max screen resolution.
X_MODE_0 = 1024x768
and that seems to limit the resolution. Otherwise it starts at
at a very high resolution (which would be a bandwidth killer, I
suspect).
But, users can still change their screen resolution in the GNOME
System/Preferences/Screen Resolution settings -- something I
wonder about since it then travels with them to other thin clients.
I also noticed that when I start up my wide-screen laptop that the
1024x768 limit is not used any more and can select the full resolution
supported by the LCD display.
