I use Kubuntu 6.06 with LTSP 4.2 and this works with all clients I have.
So does LTSP 5.0, but this is very slow booting. I'm now trying to
update to Edubuntu 8.04. While our clients made of old PCs work, our
modern Geode-based Thinner Formula Thin Clients don't work with 8.04.

After doing the following:

su -
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-geode
exit
ltsp-update-kernels
ltsp-update-sshkeys

I do get the login and splash screens, but then it just goes black.

Is this bug therefore not yet completely solved or is the above method
wrong?
