The subject line describes the situation pretty well.
I've got a server that I cannot use with either a raritan KVM that has an HP tft7210r monitor.
If I disconnect the server from the KVM, and hook it to an HP 1755 LCD monitor, I get the "input out of range" message, unless I am in X windows, where it works fine. <snip> There are a couple of things to try. Connect the HP mon to the server

If you get the input out of range message, then press the key sequence Ctrl + Alt + [+] The [+] key is the far right plus key on the numeric keypad. the sequence will toggle the video modes and will probably send a mode that the HP will be happy with. If the above works, then its time to get the server to come up in a default mode that the HP will be happy with, and you can do that manually by editing the xorg.conf file. You will need to edit the file manually (not SaX, not Yast, etc) ... consider the following hypothetical lines from an xorg.conf file : <clip> Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" "1024x768" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection </clip> The Modes line for depth 24 has been manually changed to place the "1024x768" resolution last. By default the display will come up in run level 5 at resolution 800x600 with a 1024x768 virtual display. Also, all other resolutions have been removed... manually... I only have four of them coded. You will need to find out which Modes resolution is offending the HP and remove it. Only provide the modes (you often have to do this manually) that are supported by the HP. Sometimes xorg.conf will have modes resolutions (extra ones you didn't configure in SaX) that are not supported by the monitor and which may cause problems. One more thing... not all monitors, keyboards, and mice will work through KVM reliably... make sure that all of your hardware is compatible. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
