Hi folks,
well, it does seem we have a small core of people wanting to use LTSP with
lubuntu. If I could make a couple of suggestions?
We have a group that are advocates of PPC (the older Macs), for chasing
problems they use the lubuntu-quality area[1, 2] and that mailing list for
discussions. Yo

It was a slow-dawning realization for me as I continued to research
this, but I too was concluding that I needed various
xserver-xorg-video-* packages. However, checking just now, I find that
I already have the meta-package installed (xserver-xorg-video-all) that
installs their whole suite.

Thanks for having a look at this.
1. On this machine, /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist.
2. I installed linux-firmware-nonfree and re-tested all the non-working
cards with no change in results.
3. Since I'm testing a variety of hardware, I didn't have much idea
about what to uninstall. But
Try each of the following:
1. Erase /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and reboot.
If the above does not work,
2. Install linux-firmware-nonfree package, and reboot.
If the above does not work,
3. Uninstall all the video driver packages you do not need, leave only
the one(s) that you need, and reboot.

An expanded list of what works and doesn't work for me (not
double-tested, and where not specified I'm listing chips rather than
card mfr/model):
Worked:
- PCI Matrox Millennium II MGA 2164W (PCI card)
- Intel 82810E (integrated)
- An ATI-based AGP card sold as a MIC E-G012-02-1214(B)
- ATI Rag
To give my supposition a bit more weight, I removed the discrete video
card from a working Lubuntu 12.10 machine and installed it in the
machine that fails both as a client and a standalone-with-Live-CD. It
then successfully booted the Live CD.
The card that worked was an old PCI Matrox Mille
Read on about Lubuntu 12.10 after this intro: I have been
troubleshooting a behavior in which many LTSP clients on my Lubuntu
12.10 LTSP server fail to boot. They stall after the Lubuntu splash
screen at a blank, black screen.
But one of the PC's that fails to boot as an LTSP client also * has
