*sorry forgot the mailinglist*

Hei Anselm,

first of all: thanks for your help!

You hopefully saved the config file state before changing anything?

I think for the first time everyone is a fool :) - now I backup everything I have especially every config files! *I am a very "fresh" Linux user*

After that I emerged ESD (emerge esound). After that I rebuilded my
system with the "esd" use flag ("USE="esd" emerge --newuse -av
world"). After the emerging process I rebootet and started the esd
server daemon in /etc/init.d/ When I know boot my terminal the X-
Server cant find my video adapter. Bevor the update this auto
detection worked fine for me.

It looks as if, in the process of integrating esound, some other things have been rebuilt as well. Maybe you can find out in the logfiles wether
anything in /opt/ltsp has been touched by an update?

There were about 20 touched config files. I think about 3 which deal with LTSP. The first was the "/etc/ltsp.conf" - there was nothing to change instead of some differing comments. The second was the "kdmrc" - I had enable network connectivity. The third was the "/opt/ltsp-4.1/i386/etc/lts.conf" which was not touched. The other to be updated config files did not deal with ltsp so far. I corrected everything.
After all nothing changed. I have the same problems.

The terminal uses an ATI Rage 128 AGB (P2 300Mhz, 64MBram, dont the
vendor of the board).

Depending on the X version in /opt/ltsp, this might be the "ati" or
"atirage" or whatever driver - just find out the keyword you would have
to use in a standalone machine.

I tried several drivers. There is something mysterious: the entries in the "/opt/.../lts.conf" have somehow no influence. I added the XKBMODEL and XKBLAYOUT to "pc105" and "de", but these changes do not take effekt on the terminal. I have the American keyboard layout. Another problem that will not go away and was not there before.

The terminal activates the framebuffer while it is booting. Is it possible that the framebuffer is blocking the video adapter? Where can I define boot arguments for the kernel so that it will not boot with the framebuffer? Do you have solutions for the keymap problem?

I am using the current stable release of x11-xorg (6.8.2-r6). KDE 3.4.2.

When i change the video adapter to S3 Trio the X-Server starts, but
KDE crashes while its splashscreen.

This might have to do with either a sound problem (try disabling sound and find out wether the problem persists), a matter of too small video memory (perhaps you have to tell the Xserver how much video memory your display adaptor has available) or a matter of system memory running out (but that should never happen with a 64M terminal.... if Linux however
thinks it only has about 8 megs, this might well happen).

I think you are right. The KDE crash is caused by the XF86_S3 driver. I think that the card has not enough ram for the effect that are defined in the config. But I want to use the Rage again because of these effects.

(Notice: IceWM and Fluxbox start)

* Sorry for my bad english: I am a german student :)

and as it seems, living in Troisdorf? Why don't you just come over to
the BoLUG meeting tomorrow (www.bolug.de; Zartbitter, usually
20...~23h)?

Quite close! I am living in Alfter - just beside Bonn. I know the pub Zartbitter. I think I can visit you tomorrow. Maybe we can meet tomorrow :).

Thanks and greets from Germany (Alfter,Bonn),

Marco
