i was testing (for multiple hours) on the DBE61 and what i found is that LTSP due to its extremely short bootprocess brings up X *exactly* while the framebuffer initializes. this race condition produces a hardlock with black screen. delaying X by some seconds or backlisting the framebuffer (like it was in all former releases for the majority of the framebuffer drivers) solves that issue ... it didnt matter if the symlink was in place or not (i tested all possible package combinations that night). the actual LTSP problem is the frambuffer here which will be disabled completely for 8.04.2 as nothing in LTSP makes use of framebuffers at all.
