[K12OSN] A tiny bit of sucess! Was: Do anyone here REALLY understand LTSP and remote

[john]

Hello all,

I finally made a little bit of progress and got the LTSP to see the NTAVO
6020A's RealTek soundcard. I figured out that I wasn't using true PXEboot,
rather the onboard XDMCP client which wasn't using lts.conf for config. Once
I figured that out, and enabled pxe boot by hitting delete at the boot
prompt and configuring the lan client and bootrom, I got a true PXE boot.
Sound still isn't working correctly but the clients dmesg gets me more
information. The relevant portion is below. I don't know if this indicates a
problem with ALSA or if the line reading "ac97_codec: AC97  codec, id: ALG96
(Unknown):" is what I should focus on.

One annoyance is that after configuring pam to use winbind and pam_mount I
can't log on to a gui on the machine or at a terminal so I can't just go in
as root and look at System>Preferences>Sound to see if everything is set up
correctly.

Anyway here's what I got. My lts.conf file is below this dmesg output.
Thanks to all of you for all of the great ideas and help you have extended!
