16bpp requires 1 Mb of videoram. 512K is the smallest amount videoram I have seen on IBM PCs. 64K seem extremely little. > SVGA: clocks: 25.18 > (**) SVGA: 16 bpp not supported for this chipset > *** A configured device found, but display mode could > not be resolved. *** > Fatal server error > no screens found > > I configured lts.conf with XSERVER = XF86_SVGA > > Then I changed RUNLEVEL= 3 but I still got the same > display on my ws. > > I installed x_336_svga and vga16 package from ltsp. 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. > What should I do to start ws without X other than > changing the runlevel to 3 and to get X running on the > ws? There is a script in /tmp/ named start_ws I think. Try to execute that. -- Hans Ekbrand
