16bpp requires 1 Mb of videoram. 512K is the smallest amount videoram I
have seen on IBM PCs. 64K seem extremely little.

Since you have installed the vga16 package you seem to be going for a
really low end solution. lts.conf XSERVER should not be XF86_SVGA
since the client has not enough videoram for SVGA. look in
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/bin/ for a binary named vga16 or something.
Use that name instead of XF86_SVGA as XSERVER in lts.conf.

Be warned that 64K is not enough to run with 16 colors at 640x480 (if
I can do my math correct, it only suffices to give 313x418 in 16
colors (313x418x4bpp)/(8bit/1Byte)=63,88Kb). So you might want to try
8 colors at 362x482 or 4 colors at 591x443 or 2 colors at 836x519)

use X_COLOR_DEPTH and X_MODE_[0-3] to get this old junk working.

There is a script in /tmp/ named start_ws I think. Try to execute
that.
