My system is Compaq Evo d530, 1GB RAM, 160 GB IDE, ps/2 mouse and keyboard. Problems: 1. I tested on the FreeBSD 4.9, 4.10, and 5.2.1. All of them have the same problem with the kvm. 2. I tested on Suse 9.1 (FTP install) and it had the same problem. But when I test with Suse 9.0 Personal (CD install), there is no problem at all. What should I do to solve the problem? Thanks in advance. Se the last day cvs-src messages, I think I've saw a commit addressing this problem in HEAD. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user 5.3-BETA3 - try `sysctl debug.witness_watch=0` and prepare to fly :-) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Lots of KVM switches work fine with FreeBSD. I can tell you that Compaq had to release a software update for it's 4110 series KVM switches to correct this problem.

Why are you blaming FreeBSD for this problem when other KVM switch manufacturers have obviously dealt with it. Maybe you should sell yours on Ebay and buy a different brand.

Why are you blaming FreeBSD for this problem when other KVM switch manufacturers have obviously dealt with it. Maybe you should sell yours on Ebay and buy a different brand. FWIW, I tried several brands of small KVMs and found that many work most of the time but occasionally have problems with the rodent, this with both Windows NT and FreeBSD. This occasionally seems to correspond to particular workstations more than OSes or mice (though I didn't test rigorously), and in this case seemingly identical workstations (Dells) differ. I did not try Nova View. When I found a brand of KVM that didn't offer this feature of occasional flakiness I stuck with it, and now have about 10 IOgear KVMs, mostly MiniView SEs of two, four or eight ports. Note that we're a small business and none of these are what you'd call enterprise class KVMs, a market where Avocent, Raritan and Minicom are the primary players. We'll be going there soon. The only issue I've seen that seems to be FreeBSD-related has been that some FreeBSD machines seem to like to have the KVMs set to them when they boot, though that doesn't seem to be consistent and I've not taken the time to pin it down. After booting they're fine. -- Jerry Dunham M3 Design, Inc.
