Are you using the default setup in debian-edu, or from sarge, from
lessdisks stable or lessdisks experimental ?

Looks like you have a newer version of XFree86 than the one in sarge -

Try the following:
 lessdisks-chroot passwd -u root

now you might log in and check /var/log/Xfree86.0.log
and edit /var/state/lessdisks/etc/XF86Config to fix your settings.
if you find a setting that works, you may edit
/etc/lessdisks/terminals/default on the server.
To find which variables that work, take a look at
/var/lib/lessdisks/usr/share/lessdisks/ltsp_functions

then you might try to start X again with the command "X-lessdisks"

Do you have other sources for XFree86, or are you using etch or sid,
which may have switched to using X.org?
