There's no alternative? Perhaps dropping the resolution in order to get to 16-bit or deeper color depth? I think if I were doing it, I'd want depth over resolution, but that's just me. I'm just remembering all of the nightmares of the early 1990s when we had to install colormaps for those

*snip* How about e.g. the e370 or e90? They definitely will run linux, and neoware sells them preconfigured to flash boot a what looks like a standard desktop, but if they'll PXE boot (something that I cannot tell from their not too technical description) one could presumably (re)image

Sounds like the video card on the 616 isn't fully compatible with whatever X driver you've got installed. Is it using the SVGA driver? It might help to know what video card is actually embedded in those systems. I've also seen graphic cards with low memory available do things like this. Do you

I just read some specs for that class of thin clients from NeoWare (the Capio 600 series). You're going to be very lucky to do anything with LTSP on those boxes. It doesn't look like they'll PXE boot, they have very little memory, and they use a compact flash for the little storage they have
