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.
I suspect that it is the TFT. I have not tried OpenSUSE in that environment, but I have had problems with an SLES 8 machine. It works fine in text mode with the old Compaq TFT but X doesn't work. I have not found any settings that X likes so far.
For the stand alone monitor, I've gone into yast to configure the graphic card and monitor, and it launches sax2 in what looks like a graphical mode. I pick generic lcd monitor and give horizontal and vertical values that are supported by the monitor, but ... as soon as connect it to the lcd, the screen goes blank unless I am in X windows. If I'm in X windows and then logout (so it bumps back to the console) ... then blank again.
OK, that IS odd!
When I'm at the console, it appears that the bash font is quite small, which suggests that, somehow, the text mode graphics system is at a high res? But I don't see any way to modify the "text mode" video values.
I believe you can modify the VGA settings in Grub. You should be able to add the correct settings to /boot/grub/menu.lst although I don't know what those settings would be.
For the KVM .. I don't know what to do, because I can't see the screen in any mode ever. I've switch KVM connectors and ports and etc ... so that is not it. All other servers (windows and netware) are fine.
Have you tried hooking the Raritan up to a CRT monitor instead of the TFT? All of the SLES 8 and 9 machines that I manage work fine with a Raritan and a CRT.
I'm stuck, and folks are asking for the ability to get to the server from the kvm ... what to do next?
Peter
