Tom, Take a look at http://www.ltsp.org/contrib/modelines.html
Also, your XF86Config file isn't really empty. it is a symlink that points into the /tmp directory when the workstation boots up. During the boot process, it will fill that file with the configuration info that it needs to. Hope that helps, Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 8 Jan 2004, Tom Purl wrote: > Well, I finally have everything set up on my terminal server and client, > and almost everything is running smoothly.
