<pre wrap="">Scott,
The 2.4.24-ltsp-1 kernel had lots of problems with trident. That's
because I included the "experimental" support for tridentfb in that
kernel.
Quite a while ago, I released 2.4.24-ltsp-4, which is in the
ltsp_kernel-3.0.15 package on the ltsp.org download page.
That fixed the problem with trident video.
I'm pretty sure that eric also released an update to fix it.

<pre wrap="">We are having trouble with Trident 9680s too. They worked great with
the K12LTSP 3.1 and the 2.4.21 client kernel but they flake out big
time with the client kernel 2.4.24 kernel under 4.0.1.
What happens for me the kernel downloads no problem but right after
it uncompresses the kernel and checks the video card the screen won't
sync. It all happens long before it tries to start Xwindows.
Is that what you are seeing or is it flaking out at the very last
step when it tries to run Xwindows?

Jim and Scott, <br>
Ok, that's exactly the problem I'm having, and the problem I would
very
much like to fix. But I understood basically nothing in your message,
Jim. Can you tell me how to download and install the proper kernel,
and you'll have to speak to me like I'm an idiot, because... well... I
am. ;)<br>
