The same here, George and Nadav, we've got a school with about 50 clients, half of them are all the same Fujitsu-Siemens PII model which shutdown ok, but the other half are a mix of somewhat older machines (partly AT, partly ATX). Those ATX ones show the same behaviour. Even more, the good Fujitsu-Siemens machines have Matrox graphics cards which randomly do not come up correctly during boot, i. e. show a distorted picture like a flying carpet. They will not log into the system then, i. e. they are like switched off. You must reboot them manually to wake them up. This showed after the Xorg drivers came in and didn't get better with the updates. On some of the older machines, the latest version of LTSP doesn't run (like swap and stuff). So I'm currently using 3 different versions of LTSP for these and those terminals. Rolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
