Yesterday my ordered HP Thin Client T5725 arrived. The clue is, Debian sarge is and no moving parts (no noise) are inside. It’s a really nice thin client and it can be used as Surfstation out of the box. There is also a “HP Connection Administrator” which can manage ‘Citrix‘, ‘rdesktop‘ and ‘XDMCP‘ connections.
After taking a short overview, I decided to update to etch. This was a kind tricky, cause packages did need to update in correct order to save the HP packages. Due the switch from Xfree to xorg with etch, the graphical frontend for configuring the X server didn’t work anymore, but in my environment this is no issue.
So now I’m really happy with a HP Thin Client and bleeding edge software on it, for xdmcp use. ;)

In your config file of virtual machine you need the following:
# grep serial openwrt.vmx
serial0.present = "TRUE"
serial0.fileType = "pipe"
serial0.fileName = "./serial1"
serial0.pipe.endPoint = "server"
serial0.hardwareFlowControl = "TRUE"
Redirect output to stdio or a port:
# socat <path_to_virtual_machine_dir>/serial1 <stdio |tcp4-listen:<port>>
Last week I updated my WRTSL54GS to OpenWRT 0.9 with X-WRT 2.75.
Since my box has an USB port, I was missing a way to umount mounted usb storage. Looking deeper into it, I noticed that partitions get mounted by ‘/etc/hotplug.d/usb/01-mount’ like this:
# mount
[...]
part1 on /mnt/disc0_1 type ext3 (rw)
part2 on /mnt/disc0_2 type vfat (rw)
The correct devices are missing. A patch is available:
Okay … So far, so good. Now some tweaking to webif^2 for umounting attached usb storage devices. Here comes the patch:
Okay … we got the serial port running (same like WRT54GS), so we could be more risky. After some tries I decided to work analog the WRT54G models.
