Video Monitors

[Peter Goggin]

One of the boxes originally had RedHat 7.3 and was used as a web server.
When I got the LCD monitor this worked without any problem using the
KVM. It was only after I installed Ubuntu, cleaning out the RedHat that
the problem started on this machine. The other machine originally had XP
professional and I overwrote this with ubuntu, again clearing the XP.
Again this machine worked with the monitor connected with the KVM,
before changing to ubuntu.


I believe the problem lies with the drivers in the ubuntu distribution
which do not properly recognise the monitor (ACER  AL707 LCD)

Peter - I'd suggest booting one of the problem computers without the
KVM switch.   I do know some KVM units cause issues with the video
card not communicating with the monitor correctly.
