Additions:
OK, first download the AMD driver, build the debian packages
aptitude gcc debhelper linux-header-2.6.26-1
sh ati-whatever.sh --buildpkg Debian/lenny
That gives you the packages. Install then in the chroot env.
Then go to /usr/src/fglrx/build_mod and invoke "make.sh". You will need the corresponding linux-header package and a bunch of other dependencies. Once that's done, go back up 1 level and run "make_install.sh". That should give you the fglrx.ko module. In your lts.conf, add MODULE_01 = fglrx so this module is loaded automatically.
Then you need a working xorg.conf. This is tricky. I got mine by plugging a usb drive to the thin client and install Linux on that...

Run **gdmsetup**, click the xdmcp button. then restart gdm. Make sure you have gdm configured to start automatically. I believe gdmsetup adds this to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Not 100% sure.

Additions:
Inside lts.conf, you can specify a full xorg.conf for each thin client. For ati, one can come up with a xorg.conf with **aticonfig**. Pay attention to keyboard model and layout. If you have a 105-key keyboard and you put in pc104, you will loose your keyboard once X starts.
For nvidia, I believe the essentials are
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Device"

Option "NvAGP" "1"
BusID "PCI:0:11:0"

==Enable xdmcp and gdm==
Run **gdmsetup**, the restart gdm. Make sure you have gdm configured to start automatically. I believe gdmsetup adds this to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Not 100% sure.

Additions:
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
# then fix up a xorg.conf-ati, driver name = fglrx
# Build nvidia driver
Download the nvidia driver. Go to a thin client's shell, run apt-get install linux-headers, linux-source, gcc, etc. This is necessary because the installer won't build the drivers unless there it's able to detect an nvidia card - which is absent on the LSTP server. So the installer needs to be ran on the thin client.

==lts.conf==
Lots of stuff to cover. Just make sure there is a lts.conf in $NFS_ROOT/etc/
If you need to modify the init script ran by your thin client, edit the init file inside $LBE_HOME/ltsp_kernel_kit/initramfs. There the skeleton of the thin client OS environment is stored.

Additions:
If any of the source does not download, go to http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/tarballs and download it to the tarballs directory. Then re-run build_all --fetch. It tries to download and install a whole bunch of tools which already on the host machine. To me, it doesn't make sense to waste that much time but who knows...

Revision [1655]

Edited on 2008-04-16 06:16:53 by WikiAdmin
Additions:
1) Thin client downloads initramfs.gz and the kernel image from tftp, which contains a minimal OS environment. This file is extracted to /dev/ram0 on the thin client, and mounted as root. It will then execute the **init** script or the **linuxrc** script in older version.
==pxelinux.cfg==
Boot options can be specified in /tftpboot/2.6.20.9-ltsp-1/pxelinux.cfg/default. When the thin client boots, you will see that it tries to load the pxelinux.cfg with several names. If one is found, then it will use that file. If none is found, it will use the **default** file. It's the place to customize each LTSP client's config.
prompt 0
