I am trying a 4 port mindview KVM
~
While booting I feed the Linux kernel the start up options:
~
knoppix init 2 xmodule=vesa acpi=off noapic noapm depth=16 fb1024x768 bootfrom=/dev/hd<x#>/...
~
I only need to share the monitor which is a flat ACER AL1916W, so I keep the PS2 mouse(s?) and keyboards separately connected to each of the 2 boxes
~
when I am dropped to the command prompt I mount the partitions I need and go "startx", but then the KVM goes dead (no led shines). ~
~
After plugging in the connectors to other ports I manage to make it work, but then the screen is intermittently going black specially at the beginning or when a new window opens up, even within a browser
~
Why is that happening? How can I fix it? is this related to the OS, or is ti a power or some other type of problem?
~
Which KVM works for you?
~
Thanks
