knoppix 5.1.1 + KVM
~
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

sh-3.1# dmesg | grep vga
Kernel command line: ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt.gz nomce loglevel=0 quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix BOOT_IMAGE=linux init 2 xmodule=fbdev acpi=off noapic noapm depth=16 fb1024x768 bootfrom=/dev/hdd2/knpx_5.1.1.iso
~
Is there anything I could do better or I should know about relating to this problem?
