Thank you, Martin-Éric! It worked using the second method:

sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/q-funk/ubuntu hardy main" >>
     /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get clean
      answer "Yes".
apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-amd
exit
sudo ltsp-update-image

The line with "echo" didn't work properly, I had to modify
/etc/apt/sources-list directly.

It appears that your q-funk repository is the only one which works,
neither the normal hardy nor hardy-proposed repositories seem to work
yet. Any idea when your changes will be incorporated there?

It is a Thinner Formula (thinner.de) with
AMD Geode LX-800 (500 MHz)

Thanks again for your work! We have 10 of these thin clients, so not
being able to use them was pretty bad.
