Steve, What kind of video card do you have in the workstation?
Have you specified anything for XSERVER in the lts.conf file ? If the card is PCI, and the XSERVER parameter is either missing or set to the word 'auto', then the rc.local script will attempt to automatically detect the video chipset on the card. It will use the PCI Vendor and Device id numbers to do a lookup in a file called /etc/vidlist. from there, it will get the name of the Xserver to use. if the Xserver starts with the string 'XF86_', then it will call rc.setupx3, and build a XF86Config file for X 3.3.6. If it doesn't start with that string, it will then assume that it is an X 4.1.0 supported video card, and it will invoke the rc.setupx script. The rc.setupx[3] script will build the XF86Config file in /tmp. If you have an ISA video card, or you want to force a certain X server, then you can set XSERVER to whichever X3.3.6 Xserver or X4.1.0 driver you want. So, maybe you've specified an incorrect value for XSERVER, or maybe your video card isn't listed in the vidlist file, or maybe you haven't installed the lts_x_core package. If you still can't figure it out, send us more details, and we should be able to help you out. You should also try getting on the #ltsp IRC channel on irc.openprojects.net you can almost always get interactive help on the channel.
