This page is dedicated to getting the AMD Geode series video driver/xorg to work with LTSP thin-clients.

Steps to update to latest -geode and -nsc packages:

• Become root:

sudo -s

• Chroot to the LTSP client chroot

chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/

• Update sources.list with Q-Funk's PPA containing updated packages:

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/q-funk/ubuntu hardy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

• Remove the transitional -amd package as this causes issues:

apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-amd

• Exit the chroot:

exit

• Update the image:

ltsp-update-image

NOTE: For AMD64 server installs and i386 clients, use:

ltsp-update-image --arch i386
