[K12OSN] Issues with two terminals - xserver fails / Matrox Millenium II

Hello everyone.  I posted this a couple of weeks ago and never did hear 
anything back.  I figure everyone was probably quite busy with the 
holidays and I may have been looked over.  I figured I would try once again.

I've been working on this and haven't came up with any luck so far. I 
have two workstations that were working on my K12LTSP 4 box which I 
cannot get to come up on the K12LTSP 5. I have three machines of the 
same hardware configuration. One works, the other two do not.

I have tried to copy the lts.conf information from the one that works:
    [C112]
   PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/lp0
   PRINTER_0_TYPE = P

X_MODE_0 = 800x600 40 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync

to the two that are not currently working:


[C113] [C116] *Note - I did not put this on the same line, I'm must 
showing that both have the same config.

   PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/lp0
   PRINTER_0_TYPE = P

X_MODE_0 = 800x600 40 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync

In the global section, the XSERVER = "auto"


I tried adding XSERVER = "mga" to the individual lines as well to see if 
that would help, it did not.

The video cards in all three are AGP Matrox Millenium II (MGA2164WA-B)

The error I am getting basically goes as follows:

Scanning for video card.. then it says to check /tmp/mnt/xorg.log for 
errors (which is not in /tmp/mnt/xorg)

Then I receive xserver failed.

As mentioned earlier, I did have these working under K12LTSP 4.  I did have an issue earlier when I didn't realize that the dhcpd.conf file was 
changed.  So if something in lts.conf has changed, that may be something I don't know. 

I do have several other terminals (4 working), one of which is an identical machine as two that are not working.

I did think about trying to redo the image for the network boot, but I don't really know why that would change anything.
 

Thanks -

Mike
