dlbasshello everyone16:53
dlbassCan anyone help me out with some opinions?17:35
dlbassI am working in a lab of thirteen Dell GX110s, five GX260s, two GX280s, and all are using 17" CRT monitors.17:37
dlbassThese computers are for an elementary school, and the principal wants us to put linux on them. I am familiar with the different flavors of Ubuntu, so what is what I have been working with here.17:37
dlbassI have been having issues with gnome on 10.04 not reading the EDID of these old monitors properly. I am able to work around it by manually setting the resolution. That almost always works, but these kids won't be able to do that each time the computers go off.17:39
dlbassThe lab is currently running with wireless, so I can't use LTSP unless I run wires. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what you would do in this situation?17:40
stgraberyou can probably write a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to force the resolution17:45
stgraberhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=129379#post129379 is very old but should still be pretty accurate17:47
dlbassthanks!17:53
