I am not familiar with this type of hardware.  Is that fb kernel module 
loading as the result of some configuration you made, or it just happens 
by default in Fedora?  Should we blacklist it entirely by default?

X (without xorg.conf) isn't recognizing the PCIID of the video card thus 
it isn't trying the trident driver?

Please provide lspci -vv and lspci -vvn from this machine.  You can 
attach it in a reply.

The lts.conf -> X configuration stuff has undergone some rewriting 
lately.  I'm pushing a new ltsp-client and ltsp-server today with this 
rewrite.
