Alkis, clearly somebody believes something, but the thin client image is totally isolated and cannot be affected by the server xorg drivers. I rack my brain to try to figure out what could be happening ... this implies that *any* machine doing an xdm or X -query to the server would get an upside down display ... possible I guess ... but certainly not what I've ever seen. One thing is CERTAIN installing drivers on the server does not and can not affect the client image.
