Configure client1 to run X on server1.
Configure client2 to run X on server2.
Now change the server2 /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.local file to build a start_ws
script that either does:
X -indirect server1 (and get a chooser menu) OR
X -query server1 (not client2)
Hint: boot either client1 or client2 in runlevel 3, go to /tmp and cat
start_ws.
Use IPs or configure a client /etc/hosts that IDs each machine (server1,
server2)
Jim made the config very easy to use and extend: Try GUI_MODE = server1
ie change your rc.local file to use GUI_MODE and you can then automate
the whole procedure and specify in lts.conf.
eg
#
# Config file for the Linux Terminal Server Project (www.ltsp.org)
#
[Default]
SERVER = 192.168.1.254
XSERVER = auto
X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL = "PS/2"
X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/psaux"
X_MOUSE_RESOLUTION = 400
X_MOUSE_BUTTONS = 3
USE_XFS = N
LOCAL_APPS = N
RUNLEVEL = 5

[client2]
XSERVER = auto
GUI_MODE = server1
