Regarding problems with resolution:

We were using ltsp-cluster for so long, the convenience of grouped settings 
will be sadly missed.

I used to have a custom xrandr script that would run when XRANDR_DISABLE=True, 
using the xrandr variables provided to the clients by the cluster 
configuration, to set the resolution correctly for a variety of client video 
cards and monitors.

Now, with lts-pnp and no ltsp-cluster, I have to script the creation of the 
lts.conf sections to configure all the clients individually with sections based 
on MAC. Seems like a lot of extra work, since I have about 200 clients. I'm 
hoping to find some a more efficient way to do this.

I now let the default xrandr script do the work. My problem was getting the 
sections right to include the correct xrandr settings, for example the lts.conf 
looks something like this:

[Default]
  LDM_DIRECTX=True
  LDM_SESSION="mate-session"
  LDM_THEME="ltsp"
  RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES="apache2 mysql dnsmasq nbd-server nfs-kernel-server"
  RM_THIN_SYSTEM_SERVICES="qemu-kvm virtualbox"
  USE_LOCAL_SWAP=False
  LOCAL_APPS=True
  LOCALDEV=True
  XKBLAYOUT="us"
  TIMESERVER=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  DNS_SERVER="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
  LTSP_FATCLIENT=False
  XRANDR_DISABLE=False
 
[VGA1]
#  LTSP_FATCLIENT=True
  XRANDR_OUTPUT_0="VGA1"
  XRANDR_MODE_0="1280x1024"
  XRANDR_NEWMODE_0="1280x1024 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 
-hsync +vsync"

[DVI1]
#  LTSP_FATCLIENT=True
  XRANDR_OUTPUT_0="DVI1"
  XRANDR_MODE_0="1920x1080"
  XRANDR_NEWMODE_0="1920x1080_60.00  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 
1088 1120 -hsync +vsync"

[00:e0:c5:3d:4a:8c]
  HOSTNAME=eh3104-2
  LIKE=VGA1


I like that I can easily switch between thin and fat client mode. I certainly 
need these ATOM clients to run as thin clients, with some local aps, to take 
advantage of some servers with lots of resources like CPUs and memory.
