Package: ltsp-client-core
Version: 5.2.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Holger pointed me at ltsp's configure-x.sh script on lenny, so I had a
look at what you guys have in squeeze, and it seems that that script is
no longer used (good!). 

However it seems like the snippets in usr/share/ltsp/screen-session.d/
are used instead.

- XS20-intel-virtual-hack is not needed afaik, and possibly harmful
- XS20-xserver-geode-gx2-hack should be done in the driver, if it's
  still necessary
- XS20-xserver-ppc-r128-hack references an old bug which should be fixed
  by now
- XS85-virtual I don't understand what this is supposed to do

Cheers,
Julien

i don't know if these are still needed or not.

as best i can tell https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445419 was only
resolved because fedora 9 hit End-Of-Life, though could very well be fixed
anyways.

i believe this is to support multi-headed displays.

live well,

None of the offending code still exists in the newer LTSP versions.
