hi wtogami :-) i am nadav that was IRCing with you last meeting. i upgrade FC6 to FC8 and everything worked fine and then to FC9 and many issues surfaced :-( i still did not wipe clean install FC9 as you suggest on your personal blog. but i will have time for it this week and so i let you know how it was progressing, especially with the hebrew and RTL issues (we sadly have all the time) anyways... back to your post. here is a snap of how we use (ltsp 4.2) to configure X in lts.conf : XKBSYMBOLS = "us(pc101)" XKBMODEL = "pc101" XKBLAYOUT = "us,il" XKBRULES = "xorg" #XKBOPTIONS = "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" # hebrew nikud support (Win+Num) XKBOPTIONS = "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,lv3:lwin_switch" XKBVARIANT = ",si1452" <pre>and a link to a backup of this file (to get the whole picture) </pre><a href="http://www.eagle-israel.co.il/ltsp/opt_ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf">http://www.eagle-israel.co.il/ltsp/opt_ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf</a> will i still need that ? <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 11:51 PM, Warren Togami <<a href="mailto:wtogami@redhat.com">wtogami@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Debian LTSP uses configure-x.sh which writes an xorg.conf before running X. Fedora LTSP by default has no xorg.conf when the client runs, because we rely on X autoconfiguration which works for the vast majority of hardware. This however means many of the XKB* layout related options and X_* options for forcing a screen resolution do not work. So I learned from ajax yesterday during FUDCon Boston 2008 something that I did not previously realize. xorg.conf with *only* screen resolution or layout options will not prevent autodetection of everything else (video driver mainly). This means we could use a significantly streamlined configure-x.sh for only a few options that people use. On a related matter, I'm 50% done writing a script that can be run from ldm's rc.d scripts that sets the keyboard layout without getting xorg.conf involved. By default in Fedora it would set the keyboard layout from /etc/sysconfig/keyboard (which is copied from the server during ltsp-build-client). If the user attempts an lts.conf override with XKB* options then it would use that instead. So this is one less thing that we need would need in configure-x.sh. Keep in mind though, that needing anything at all in xorg.conf is only for the minority of users.
