[16:53] <dlbass> hello everyone
[17:35] <dlbass> Can anyone help me out with some opinions?
[17:37] <dlbass> I am working in a lab of thirteen Dell GX110s, five GX260s, two GX280s, and all are using 17" CRT monitors.
[17:37] <dlbass> These 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.
[17:39] <dlbass> I 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.
[17:40] <dlbass> The 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?
[17:45] <stgraber> you can probably write a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to force the resolution
[17:47] <stgraber> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=129379#post129379 is very old but should still be pretty accurate
[17:53] <dlbass> thanks!
