Hi friends,
(My English isn't good, but let's go!)
I understand that Santos wanted LTSP to automatically determine the
resolution, but I preffer doing like the following way when I configure
the LTSP manually...
I am using this format in lts.conf:
*****************************************************
(...)
[s154pc04]
XF86CONFIG_FILE =3D XF86Config-FILE-EXAMPLE
XSERVER =3D XF86_SVGA
USE_XFS =3D N
LOCAL_APPS =3D N
LOCAL_DEVICE_01 =3D /dev/fd0:floppy
RUNLEVEL =3D 5
(...)
*****************************************************
Then.. First I suggest you look:
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/screen.d/startx
You need to search the lines:
*****************************************************
(...)
if [ ! -z "${XF86CONFIG_FILE}" ]; then
reg_info XF86CONFIG_FILE
#
# If XF86CONFIG_FILE is defined in the lts.conf file, then
# it points to an XF86Config file that is pre-made for a workstation
#
if [ -f /etc/${XF86CONFIG_FILE} ]; then
cp /etc/${XF86CONFIG_FILE} ${XFCFG}
else
echo
echo "Error! - ${XF86CONFIG_FILE} - File not found!"
echo
fi
else
#
# Build the XF86Config file from entries in the lts.conf file
# If it starts with 'XF86_', then we use XFree86 3.3.6. Otherwise,
# we use XFree86 4.x
#
case ${XSERVER} in
XF86_*) /etc/build_x3_cfg ${XSERVER} >${XFCFG}
(...)
*****************************************************
The code below indicates where LTSP's client searches the 'XF86CONFIG_FILE'
defined in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf.
*****************************************************
"if [ -f /etc/${XF86CONFIG_FILE} ]; then
cp /etc/${XF86CONFIG_FILE} ${XFCFG}"
*****************************************************
Then you need to create and to configure the
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/XF86Config-FILE-EXAMPLE for your specific WS.
In XF86Config-FILE-EXAMPLE:
# Monitor Specifications
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
# 14/15" Monitor frequency
HorizSync 28-40
VertRefresh 43-90
# 17" Monitor frequency
#HorizSync 30-70
#VertRefresh 50-150
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
# Screen Specifications
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Cirrus Logic"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
# The 1280x1024 mode only work in 17" Monitor...
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I hope have helped...
