I had a disk melt down and rebuilt everything from scratch including LTSP. Things seemed to go better this time incorporating your suggestions. I used "via" for the XSERVER field in lts.conf file. Upon boot it passed the point where before it crashed and now I have moved on to the next errorwhich I won't bore you with at this time. Thankyou for your suggestions and very quick response.

One thing I might have done that was causing trouble was accidently use an earlier ersion of an iso image of LTSP. It may be a good idea to lay out the download page a bit differently with the recent stable version as the first items on the page or at least with the items ordered according to the date. Also all the tar files listed on the download page are on the ISO image but this isn't clear from the web page.

Keir,

When you say it is failing to build the XF86Config file, that tells me
that it is trying to auto-detect the card, and it is failing at that.

But, if you specify a driver using the 'XSERVER = xxxx' parameter in
lts.conf, then it shouldn't be auto-detecting, so it shouldn't fail when
it builds the XF86Config file.

It could, however, be failiing later, when it tries to execute the
driver.


For the via, I think you need:

  XSERVER = via

in the lts.conf file.

Give that a try, and report the results.

Also, i'm working today on getting X.org 6.8.2 packages for ltsp.
That may contain the driver that you need.

I'm having touble with appropriate graphics  card drivers. I want to use LTSP
to run a diskless client. I have a box-pc equipped with a VIA mainboard (VIA
c3 / EDEN EBGA) and an onboard Unichrome graphics card.

I have sequenced through all the available graphics drivers and the build of
the XF86config file fails because it doesn't recognise the card.

Can anyone advise on what the proceedure is ton build drivers for this card?
