I have 60 ComputerLab Geode thin clients similar to these:

I installed 8.04 / LTSP 5 using the alternative install CD and ran
into the Geode video problem. Mine will present a series of green dots
across the screen when X starts and I am unable to switch to a shell.
I can ping the machines, so I know they're not completely frozen.
I really need a fix for this as well.
