Its more than just ltsp-client that is broken on fc8.   No rush on this 
for me.

Indeed.  I set up my own repo on an httpd on localhost, and modified my 
/etc/ltsp/kickstart/Fedora/9/ltsp-x86_64.ks to use it.

I populated it with fc9 rpms, except for: xorg*, linuxwacom*, mesa*, 
rhpxl*,  which I grabbed from fc8.    Then I replaced the fc8 
xorg-x11-drv-ati
with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.195-3.fc8.x86_64.rpm, which is the last one 
that works for me.  Did a "createrepo ." on the directory with my rpm 
collection.

Did a:  linux-build client --arch=x86_64  using my repo and Warren's 
add-ons, and ... magic, VT switching now works! :-)

Now back to the original problem:

Trying to login at the LTSP screen fails on x86_64 fc9 clients.   On the 
client, /var/log/messages contains:

    Aug 17 02:54:50 client-172 kernel: cdpinger[1649] general protection 
ip:637c70 sp:7fff8fac73b0 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.5[602000+df000]
    Aug 17 02:55:30 client-172 kernel: ldm[1790]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 
7fffc2021f80 error 14 in ld-2.8.so[110000+1d000]

Let me guess?  Its because my clients have no CD/DVD drive??
