If you installed your drivers on the SERVER then it will not affect your

That's not true; e.g. installing proprietary nvidia drivers on the
server makes the client display upside-down:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/496363
It's recommended that proprietary display drivers are NOT installed on
LTSP servers, more so for ltsp-pnp, which uses the server installation
instead of a chroot.
Unless of course the clients have the same graphics card as the server.
@John Hupp: i.e., try purging the proprietary ati drivers from the
server + update the image.
Btw, you can specify the driver to use with e.g. XSERVER=vesa in
lts.conf, there's no need to put snippets in xorg.conf.d.
Check the lts.conf manpage.
James: I failed to report that I updated the image after installing
those packages on the server, and that since I am using ltsp-pnp I
didn't need to separately install in the chroot and update the image.
But Alkis's observation about those bugs introduces another unexpected
factor altogether.
And thanks, Alkis. I already purged the proprietary ati drivers (and
updated the image).
And I was wondering how much video configuration I could get from
lts.conf. For any configuration changes it supports, that would make
for much faster testing than what I was doing. It seems then that I was
taking the long road to testing a vesa driver. Not only that, but after
a quick look at the lts.conf manpage, it looks like it supports most of
the control I would get from xorg.conf.d snippets.
