Hi as I trawled the internet in search of inspiration I stumbled over 5 year old posts I made to ltsp :-)
So for the record here is my solution, with thanks to everybody who helped ... I installed the nvidia-glx drivers in the chroot. This slows the boot process by 10-20 seconds on all clients. The relevant part of lts.conf # Gigabyte board [00:0f:ea:59:9f:22] SERVER = "192.168.5.74" XSERVER = "nv" XRANDR_DISABLE = True X_MODE_0 = 1280x1024 X_VERTREFRESH = 59-61 X_HORIZSYNC = 30-70 # AM2N68-AM board [00:22:15:d3:70:ed] SERVER = "192.168.5.74" XSERVER = "nvidia" I will spend a short time trying to see why the Gigabyte board wont run with the nvidia driver.This board fails to provide EDID info.
