Stefan-
I have M7VIG-400 motherboard with a VIA chipset video up as a terminal on
LTSP-4.2, and it took not only specifying the VIA driver, but also setting
limits on sync rates (based on my monitor's capacity) to force correct
calculation of the "modelines". I think that driver's a little buggy, but
useable; try these these lines (or similar) and see what happens:
[ws079]
XSERVER = via
X_HORZSYNC = "31-80"
X_VERTREFRESH = "60-75"
X_MODE_0 = 1280x960
X_MODE_1 = 1024x768
X_MODE_2 = 800x600

p.s. I tried making the highest resolution the last in the series, and it
simply wasn't okay; apparently you have to start with the highest res if
you use the driver to calculate the modeline. It may be better to simply
write your own modeline(s) and get what you REALLY want.

You were quite right, the client was using "auto" server (and I have no
idea which one it took). But setting that to "via" like you suggested,
does not work. In fact, after booting when the client starts X, it only
displays blinking vertical stripes and nothing else. This happend with
both via drivers (the one supplied with LTSP 4.2 and the one of the
link from Veli-Matti's mail). The board is a Via Epia Eden with a 533
MHz Samuel CPU inside. At home I have a Via Epia Eden CL-6000 with a
600 MHz Samuel2 CPU inside and I now for sure that this uses the
via/unichrome driver. Hm.
