We use the 'hostname' to distinguish the xorg.conf's for different thin clients. The attached init-script 'x2gohostname' replaces the default 'hostname' with the ethernet address of the network device eth0. Colons are replaced by dashes. Xorg will search the xorg.conf.<hostname> file in the directory /usr/etc/X11/, which correspond to /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/usr/etc/X11/ in the PXE-boot environment.

The init-script goes to /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/etc/init.d/. Enter the chroot-environment executing 'x2gothinclient_shell'. 'update-rc.d x2gohostname defaults' will generate the symlinks for the different run-levels.

Hope this helps someone, Stephan
