At runtime, both sources are queried and the resulting config is written to /var/cache/ltsp/ltsp_config_env on the client.

For diskless workstations: nothing is generated by default as nowadays the X server configures itself and everything runs locally in this case. For thin clients: X_COLOR_DEPTH is set to 16 by default to save bandwidth for transfers from the server to the client. All relevant X setting can be overwritten in both cases to match local hardware.

Or you can login at the client as root using Ctrl-Alt-F1 up to Ctrl-Alt-F6. Both ssh and local login requires to have set a root password in the LTSP chroot before. This can be done by executing 'ltsp-chroot passwd' on the LTSP server. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log on a diskless workstation and /var/log/Xorg.7.log on a thin client for X related information and /var/cache/ltsp/ltsp_config_env to see if your settings were fetched correctly.
