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.

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 ..

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 > Regards, Andy - -- - ---------------------- Andy Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ---------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFZDhP5lxK9TEfjHYRAgo6AKDf2x6m0ixxAv7M9l8wWpWn8luDOgCgi5o6 HxuEzru65lDjuhKziUWXsC4= =5I1r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
