The other day I was trying to set up a thin client with a Radeon card. Before I detected how to use the inbuilt XOrg driver for it, I tried to install the drivers ATI provides for download. Needless to say that I failed.
But anyway, is there a way of including such drivers into an LTSP environment? Usually the install routines will expect the directory to install somewhere in .../X11/... and not under another directory tree like that for LTSP. Does anyone here have had success in installing such a beast under LTSP for a special terminal?
I have installed clients with NVidia GeForce 5900 based fan-less cards that works perfectly with hardware accelleration in dual-screen 1600x1200(x2) setup. Work like a sharm, but I worked hard and long to get the drivers compiled against the LBE (LTSP Build Environment). I followed the instructions on the wiki, and after some symlinking and copying of files that didn't go where they where supposed to I finally made it work. I'll try to get time to write a howto and publish it and the driver-binaries, if theres nothing in the lisence that prohibits me from doing that. I'll also try to compile the recently release VIA drivers for the EPIA-mainboards, as I use those in my clients.
Cheers, P�l Arne Hoff
