You need to create an XF86Config file. I put them into a directory under /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/XFConfigs
There are a number of ways to create the file. The easiest is to set the client up for swap so that you can copy the config file from the client to the swap directory.
Set up the client for a local shell and log in to the client with the 2 video cards as root.
run the following # export HOME=/tmp # /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -configure The configure will return " XFree86 is not able to detect your mouse. Edit the file and correct the Device.
Your XF86Config file is /tmp/XF86Config.new
To test the server, run 'XFree86 -xf86config /tmp/XF86Config.new"
Copy the file to the swapfile directory # cp /tmp/XF86Config.new /tmp/swapfiles
On the server, copy the file from the swapfiles directory to the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/XFConfigs
# mkdir /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/XFConfigs
# cp /opt/ltsp/swapfiles/XF86Config.new /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/XFConfigs
Edit the XFConfig file to set the mouse device and the font directories correctly
In the lts.conf set the client to use the new config file XF86CONFIG_FILE = XFConfigs/XF86Config-4-mga-nv
Reboot the client, you should have 2 monitors working. You can then tweak stuff like xinerama, monitor location etc.
I will tidy this up and put it on the Wiki

Hi,
I'm successfully running a ltsp 4.1 install now. I was after any pointers to any how-to's or other information on how to setup dual monitors on my client.
The client I plan to use is a mini-itx EPIA 5000 with a PCI graphics card for the 2nd monitor.
Many thanks,
Dave
