If you ever find an optimal KVM please let me know because I have
looked high and low and can't find one. I use a 24" Sun LCD and the
biggest beef is the KVM won't support the right frequency at higher
resolutions. The second is that the KVM won't properly transmit the
video identifier signals to the OS so Linux says something like "I have
no idea what display you have". Same goes for Solaris or WinCrap. IF everything is perfect when the display is directly connected to the computer then make sure the video cable is lying in the same physical spot as when it is connected to the KVM (i.e. don't lay it next to a bunch of power cables when you connect it to the KVM). If all that is OK then I know Black Box has an in-line video sequencer (I think sequencer is the correct name, not sure). Anyways, it goes in-line on your video cable and you can tweak all sorts of video signals to get desired effects. Don't know it will help your sit. As fas a KVMs go I've always used Cybex (now called Avocent). They seem to have the better products. But when the whole industry product (KVMs) in general are less then optimal that is not quite a grand distinction. Plus, they cost more than most. Sigh...

The fonts are ghosted, although the redhat-config-xfree86 finds the monitor correctly. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rick von Richter IS Production Support Manager Voice: 858-831-2222 rickv@xxxxxxx Maintenance Warehouse/Home Depot Fax: 858-831-2221 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The box says: Win98, WinNT or BETTER.
