mmm, i forgot to say that clients are *thin clients*, woithout hard disk and
CD, they boot through LAN with the LTSP server. They can't work as a
standalone machine, so their graphical configuration should be written in
the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf . So... what can i write there to make this
thinclients work in color in a TV? which driver should clients use, own's
one (via unichrome) or server's one (nvidia)?
Thanks.
