If you do not want to (or cannot) use a hard-coded xorg.conf for all
terminals, you can create a xorg.conf file and tell specific terminals
to use it.

For example, if you saved the xorg.conf file as
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11/xorg-1024x768.conf, you can add this to your
lts.conf to tell only one terminal to use that config file:

     [00:E0:4C:AC:00:26]
         X_CONF=/etc/X11/xorg-1024x768.conf

(where "00:E0:4C...." is the Mac address of the terminal)
