Thanks everybody. I'd like to report success in configuring dual
monitors/dual cards within an LTSP environment. I would like to point
out my error in my previous lts.conf where instead of XF86CONFIG_FILE
, I placed XF86_CONFIG. My final xorg.conf (for the sole client that
my LTSP serves) was derived using the following steps:
1. Boot the client into shell only.
2. On the command line, /usr/X11R6/bin/X -configure
3. The dual headed display should come up and will write to a new xorg.conf
3. Take note of where the file (xorg.conf) will be saved, in my case
it went to /root/xorg.conf
4. scp the xorg.conf to your LTSP server (most probably you would
wanna put it in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc)
5. Modify lts.conf and point it to your new xorg.conf
6. Reboot client
Here's my working lts.conf:
[Default]
SERVER = 192.168.10.1
XSERVER = auto
XF86CONFIG_FILE = xorg.conf
X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL = "PS/2"
X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/psaux"
X_MOUSE_RESOLUTION = 400
X_MOUSE_BUTTONS = 3
USE_XFS = N
SCREEN_01 = startx
SCREEN_02 = shell
X_MODE_0 = 800x600
And here's the xorg.conf generated from the shell on the LTSP client:

I have one more concern though. How do I make the LTSP client have a
"Spanning Desktop" (where the user can drag the window from one
monitor to the other and vice versa) instead of "Individual Desktop"
settings? Thanks for any pointers.
