fglrx in ltsp clients

[David Van Assche]

The linux-restricted driver that comes with gutsy does not work... I tried
the way you mentioned before without luck. I not only need to have a custom
xorg.conf file for my clients, but also need to compile my own fglrx
module... I've now got it working...

I built the fglrx driver inside the client (guess it was the 64 bit kernel
causing problems at build time) and then scp'd the module to its location
inside the chroot, installed... Restarted and voila... X working correctly
:-)

glxinfo gives the necessary details: ATI Technologies...

But I cannot enable 3D effects... is this not possible in the thin clients?

Concerning the chroot and other clients (I have 21 ati clients), can I build
another chroot to use with all the other clients that don't have the same X
problems?
