Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Annoying DPMS with kdm
I don't think it has effect to kdm, as it's no System Administrator's control. The level is for the user logged in, so it should work like a simple xset -dpms from a terminal session within KDE or whatever. Xavier Brochard schrieb: Don't know if it has effects on kdm but have you tried to change settings in kde configuration center/peripherals/display/power control ? You can also check the bios settings and the monitor's parameters.

KDM is probably resetting the dpms setting somehow. IMHO, why not leave it on, and help save the planet by reducing electricity requirements? Also some manufacturers eg Samsung talk of the LCD stucture being polorized the effect of which IS SCREENBURN. So screen savers are a good thing and turn back on is instant so I agree. James Thank you Scott and James, I agree with you in general - however this is a bit more tricky here. We are a school, and that means different conditions. 1st we've got CRTs (at least for the time being), no burn-in so far with the old server (DPMS is off). 2nd I found that students get confused when they enter the room and do not know which terminal is actually on or in stand-by. If in stand-by they might try to press the button until they see it was on - and so switch it off again because of their repeated pressing and trying... :-) Believe me, I've seen everything here... 3rd I couldn't see if the monitors actually switch off or just go black and stay on. I'll check that. As to KDM, I didn't find any configuration setting about this. So I might just be wrong. What I did is to change this setting in build_x4_config so it doesn't care about the lts.conf setting but always writes Option DPMS false. Was this the right/best/only way? How could I check for this option after booting? As to the LCDs, you're right. My own one does it (at least with certain colours), but it has always disappeared after couple of minutes and it's only visible on a gray background. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP and rdesktop
OK,
Does anyone have a working rdesktop script that supposed to go into
the screes.d directory. I've done a fresh install of debian, and it's
not on there. Tries the rdesktop script from version 4.1, but it's
trying to use old tools like pci_scan and it's not building the
XF86Config right. I get errors parsing the file and it says a device
section is needed.
Thanks
Kevin

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Fwd: Unsupported Crossover (Wine) app installed in managed mode only runs as root.
Update: I put esd as the sound driver for Crossover. As a result: Root works fine on the thin clients with sound. The local user with administrative rights that was created at installation time works fine with sound. However: smbldap users don't work at all. another locally created user doesn't run properly. The program loads then freezes then works for a short while then freezes again. There is some sound. The rights for the main executable are root:root rwxr-xr-x I tried changing the owner and group of this file and it didn't seem to make any difference. Local admin user can run it fine as it is. The only difference I could see between admin user and other local user is membership of video group, but couldn't find an option to join that group. Neither admin or local user are members of the audio group. Any other clues about what changes could be made to allow other users to run the program like the local admin user? I feel we have made progress but we are not sure what to try next. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
