This sounds like the problems we have experienced with some unichrome based thin clients. The unichrome driver in X.org is buggy and doesn't work with all the chipsets properly. There are better drivers available from unichrome and openchrome projects: http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/ http://www.openchrome.org/ Unichrome project focuses now more on stability but Openchrome project is continuing developing also new features. We have used the unichrome driver for quite some time, but did the switch to openchrome a few months ago as it worked with higher resolutions on some of the thin clients we use. If you want to try if openchrome fixes the problem, you can download the openchrome driver for LTSP 4.2 from here: http://www.opinsys.fi/tuki/openchrome/via_drv.so The sources are here (svn snapshot from little over month ago): http://www.opinsys.fi/tuki/openchrome/openchrome.tgz Copy the via_drv.so to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.so under your LTSP NFS-root. It replaces the old via driver, so copy the original version to a safe place in case you experience problems. I hope this helps with the problems you are having. Replacing the driver fixes also other bugs in some unichrome chipsets, so this fix can help also others.
