Re: [K12OSN] Newbie Needs Help with Workstation Login Hangup

[Paul Nelson <pnelson riverdale k12 or us>]

Hello Dal,

My first guess is that your monitor on the client is not capable of
running the default video settings. Try a different monitor or try one
of the 9 different video settings listed at the end of the
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf file. Just remove the "#" comment character
to activate a different setting. Note that you can only have one
uncommented at a time.

Let us know if this helps.

;-) Paul
