What version of ldm are you running? A newer version just recently
migrated to jessie/testing. I'd also be curious if you have the same
problems running a wheezy system.

Running as fat or thin client?

If you could include the output of "ltsp-info" running on the LTSP
server, that would be helpful. Also, the contents of lts.conf would also
be very useful (/srv/tftp/ltsp/*/lts.conf
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/*/lts.conf /opt/ltsp/*/etc/lts.conf).

From the thin client itself? how do you run this?

Using X -query should be very similar, though not identical, to how
LDM_DIRECTX=True works...

This is somewhat surprising; I haven't had the best luck with any of
those desktops using with LDM as a thin client...

Does setting X_SMART_COLOR_DEPTH=false in lts.conf help?

I'll see if i can reproduce the issue myself, though I don't have
similar hardware...
