KVM-Switch with GeForce?
-
Hi, I have just installed a 4-port KVM switch between my two computers, one of them with linux, and the other with W2K. The one with linux has a Vodoo Banshee video card and the windows computer has GeForce 2. When the windows computer has loaded W2K, and is about to boot the drivers for GeForce (when the mouse cursor should be showing), the screen turns black! The linux computer works perfectly. Both cards are AGP. Has anybody experienced this or a similar problem with KVM switches? :confused: Thanks! Erik

I have a 6-port Belkin kvm and have found that when booting a machine, you should switch to it with the KVM until it sees that it has a mouse and a keyboard. At that point, you can switch away. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 "You won't like me when I'm angry..." - Dr. Bruce Banner Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

First thing that springs to mind has nothing specifically to do with the hardware on your Windows machine but more to do with the KVM. I bet the Windows machine is running a resolution that the KVM cannot handle. Have a look at what the KVM can handle and compare it to what the Win2k box is running.

Hello, and thanks for your answer! I actually changed the resolution to 640x480, 8 bpp, 60 Hz (without the switch).... but it still didn't work. :((
