Stefan,
I tried long and hard to get the xorg.conf file to work with my monitors to no avail. Debian simply did not have the intelligence to detect various monitor configurations and I finally had to unfortunately give up.
Probably not the answer you want, however I can say that we went a different route and it's worked just fine: we decided to create a custom Ubuntu Live CD image and boot to that via PXE. Ubuntu picks up virtually any monitor settings and audio works great as well over PXE. I created a custom kiosk mode so a user boots up right to a full-screen x2go client, just as the x2go-thinclient package did. The two links I used were
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
and for setting up the kiosk mode, I used this description (made for NX, but just replace the NX settings with the x2go_gtk client and all worked fine). http://blog.nistu.de/A_kiosk_setup_with_nxclient.html
Let me know if you have any questions.
Neil

Hi all,
I installed recently x2go-one and the thinclient-netboot-environment. So far all works fine. (Sound and printing not yet tested).
At the same network we have also a ltsp installation but I think to replace ist step by step with x2go mainly because of spee issues.
One of the main questions I have ist if it's possible to offer custom xorg.conf to the clients which boot via pxe.
Some of our monitors are not correctly recognized by the x-server an need a special xorg.conf.
In the ltsp changeroot there is the possibility to offer something like xorg.conf.00:00:00:00:00 with mac-address as a suffix.
I've confused this: is not in ltsp but in the pxe configuration ;-) In ltsp you define the specifics for each host in the lts.conf but maybe the client mac is still a good starting point.
