I guess I'd recommend working on these issues directly...

If your using XFree86 4.3 or any one with the Resolution and Rotation
extention (4.2 and 4.1 might have had it, but I don't remember) you can
change this on the fly to anything in your XF86Config file.  So you
could set up a default and then have this change on a per user basis.  I
don't know of any GUI utilities that do this currently, but there is the
command line 'xrandr'.  This could go in an .xinitrc or something like
that.

ESD will solve this problem for you.  Obviously it will cause some
latency, but it shouldn't be much considering your on an internal
network.

I'd probably right some quick scripts to mount the drives on the remote
computers and have an NFS mount from the server to the mount points on
the clients.  Then, when the drives get mounted, you can find the data
on those NFS mount points.  You could have a shell script that did
something like:

ssh -l mountuser client "mount -t auto /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom"

And then have /mnt/cdrom shared to /nfs/client/cdrom on the server.=20
These could all be activiated with icons on the desktop or something to
make it easier.

That's how I'd do it - but I don't know if that's the answer you were
looking for :)
