matt,
In lts.conf you can specify the resolution and colour depth that each
workstation should use.
An example:
[00:90:27:76:67:80]
XSERVER = auto
X_MODE_0 = "1024x768"
X_COLOR_DEPTH = 15
means that the workstation with a network card address of
00:90:27:76:67:80 should try to start a screen in a 1024x768 pixel
reesolution, using 15 bits worth of colours.
There's many more parameters that can be tweaked an d the lts.conf has
numerous examples in its comments.
cheers
Samps
