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.
Is there any similar possibility on the x2go thinclient system?
If not yet: It should be possible to make some adjustments in the startscript. I would try to make a hack in the /usr/sbin/x2gothinclientd to ask for mac-address to choose a custom Xorg.conf.
But maybe there is already a solution? I think it would make sense to change the x2gothinclientd script in this way.
Best regards Stefan

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.
