Kenneth, Have you setup an lts.conf file in:
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386 where you specify XSERVER = i810 X_COLOR_DEPTH = 16 for your clients? The first line specifies the correct xorg driver for your video card and the second line avoids some of the problems with 24 bit depth that plagues many of the intel graphic cards with ltsp. If you need more assistance with this step, I suggest you consult either: http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/ or the various edubuntu online docs. You need to make sure that you know your specific video card chipset. You can find the out by either booting your thin client with some usb distribution or switching over to a terminal as described in the edubuntu handbook. The problem is not with your monitor (if I am understanding your current situation correctly) but rather in your client configuration.
