For really crappy monitors even 640x480 mode may be needed. How memory
on your display card? If it is less than 1mb then you can only get
640x480!
Sometimes you may have to specify the entire mode line including sync
rates etc. Look at the top of lts.conf file on standard k12ltsp install
and try using the lines with lower frequency by copying them into the
section for relevant terminal.
