mmm, i forgot to say that clients are *thin clients*, woithout hard disk and
CD, they boot through LAN with the LTSP server. They can't work as a
standalone machine, so their graphical configuration should be written in
the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf . So... what can i write there to make this
thinclients work in color in a TV? which driver should clients use, own's
one (via unichrome) or server's one (nvidia)?
Thanks.

The client keeps it's files on the server, but this is convenience - it
does
not NEED to.
The client runs a x-session on the server, this too is convenience - it
could
run it's x-session on *any* server that it could reach, without affecting
anything else.
So the client has absolutely NOTHING to do with the SERVER. (the server is
convenient to use)
It sometimes does work (coping files, compiling on the server etc), but
the
rule is *you can only build programs for a client by compiling on LBE*
Step 1: make your hardware work as a standalone machine
Step 2: do the same thing (hw setup) for ltsp.
So can you get a colour x display on that hw using TV. What drivers?
