Stan,

editing the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/vidlist file is easy, but you do need to
know the PCI Vendor and Device ID of the video chipset.

To get that, you need to set:

    SCREEN_01 = shell

then, boot the client, and do this:

   cut -b 1-14 /proc/bus/pci/devices

This will give you 2 columns of output.  Something
like this:

0000    11060691
0008    11068598
0038    11060686
0039    11060571
003c    11063057
0048    13c11001
0060    80861229
0100    102b0521


The 2nd column contains the vendor and device id.  the first 4 digits
are the vendor, and the last 4 digits are the device.

I then, take that list of numbers, and look it up on the online pci
database at:    

     http://www.pcidatabase.com/

Enter the vendor id, and hit the search button.  it will show you all of
the devices for that vendor.

In your case, the vendor is Intel, so the id is probably '8086'.

If you have any problems, send me the list, and i'll look it up for you.

once you know the values, you should be able to plug them into the
vidlist file.  The format of that file should be obvious, and I think
you need the 'i810' module.

Once you get it working, please send me the values, and i'll update the
master list.

Thanks,
Jim McQuillan
