This is why it no longer works. We set up the cloned image to work with
a CRT. To change Debian so that it will work with the LCD monitor, you
run this from a terminal (as root):
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
You can accept existing defaults for everything, until you get to the
question "Is this an LCD Monitor?" -- and change it from "no" to "yes".
Then, it should work for them. (if you are running the terminal from the
GUI, you can restart the xserver with Ctl+Alt+Backspace).
Under Debian, to change from CRT to LCD (or back) you have to
reconfigure the xserver. Under Ubuntu and some others, it's now xorg,
which is slightly different.

If this doesn't work, send to the list.
