I am having a problem with X for intel board D945GCLF which uses the 945GC chipset containing GMA950 graphics. The board does not work with standard LTSP as is on Ubuntu Hardy. Note: I do have a working installation that load just fine for other client boxes (Via C7 and other intel and amd based boards, so you can assume that the ltsp setup is a good one).
There was only one post on this subject which references an lts.conf setting in the edubuntu general list: http://www.nabble.com/Intel-D945GCLF-mobo-as-Thin-Client-with-Ubuntu-8.04.1-(daily%2C-12072008)-td18442933.html That setting alone was not enough to get any functionality out of the board... The board can be made somewhat functional by doing the following: 1) upgrade your client environment build packages 2) install .24-19 kernel in client environment 3) rebuild the client image 4) update ltsp kernels 5) use the lts.conf X_CONF = /etc/X11/xorg.conf setting (from above post refernece by Asmo Koskinen) Re: #5, using default XSERVER setting, it does not load ldm, using i810 XSERVER setting, it does not load ldm, the only way to get it to work is to specify the xorg.xonf file as shown. After this is done, it sort of works (e.g. no kernel panic, no hangs, no modprobe abnormal exit, etc.), but there are still some issues: i) I get a wierd script on the screen (looks like content form xorg.conf file contents from the X_CONF setting) before ldm loads and after session logout, this is undesireable and looks very strange (for users). ii) when performing a shutdown (from ldm after logout) I get a solid color grey screen instead of video off and I do not believe video is actually turned off properly on the client box. I believe both of these issues are related to the xorg.conf file set by X_CONF. I.e. somethng is still not quite right with the video settings. Anyone know how to fix this?
