The actual box itself is attached to the wall behind several suspended monitors I can't move. It's an IOGEAR 4 port. The port the computer in question is on is connected to a Trendnet two port that connects to the IOGEAR. (It behaves the same way when connected directly to the IOGEAR) These
So you did try swapping the HP's cabling with another PC's without any effect? Only one switch, or more than one?
things are impossible to get to to get model numbers.
Port is a VGA Keyboard and mouse connections are all USB
In a fashion on Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) with 64 bit E7600 TW 20150728 I tried to emulate a KVM, but using only the video element. On the digital side I used a DVI to HDMI cable to connect the DVI out to a Vizio TV's HDMI in #4, then after starting Plasma switching the TV to HDMI #1 to watch TV for a while. Plasma was ready and waiting on return to #4. I tried the same thing with VGA, connecting VGA cable to a Dell LCD, logging in on Plasma, then switching the Dell to its DVI port for 20+ minutes while doing other things. Plasma was again ready to go after switching through S-Video to composite and returning to VGA.
The failure here with KB and pointing remaining connected has me wondering if the key to success might actually be the KVM's disconnected input devices. Can you try connecting an extra mouse and/or keyboard to the Q33/Q35/G33 HP? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

The graphics controller is a Intel 82Q33 I was able to finally determine. Plugged in a keyboard and mouse to front USB jack and booted the system. I still have the issue. I've had a good night's sleep and decided to bite the bullet and have ordered a Nvidia GT 610 card for the system. This set up solved this problem on the other system I have after I modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf I'll avoid any meals out this week to pay for it. I am thinking it's just a querk in the nature of this old Intel video chipset in combination with my KVM hardware. This KVM hardware setup does not provide a signal that the system is looking for and KDE Plasma blanks video in response. The underlying video system is still working as evidenced by the ability to CTRL-ALT-F1 and get console. KDE Plasma is likely working as designed with the defaults. The new video card is cheaper than a new KVM. Thanks for all the good help on trying to resolve this Issue. Steven -- ____________ Apply appropriate technology. Use what works without prejudice.
