Not a Linux issue per se, but looking for recommendations, anecdotes, etc.
I have an older Cybex 8-port VGA KVM that I've used for a long time, and generally I like it a lot. The problem is that it doesn't support the monitor EDID function. I've worked around this until now by specifying modelines in Linux, manually configuring Windows drivers, and using 3rd-party tools with MacOSX. A PITA, but generally something only needed once per system. I have a new Mac Pro, and my 3rd-party tools approach doesn't work. Macs are not my forte, and I haven't been able to find any solutions online. So I'm looking for a hardware solution. Maybe it's time to upgrade to a modern KVM. I need an affordable rackmount 8-port KVM that supports EDID (DDC) (I've seen models for $999, that's NOT affordable). Alternatively, I've seen single-port EDID emulators that I could use to solve this specific issue. I'd prefer a more general solution, though, since this issue will come up again. Any recommendations for KVMs would be greatly appreciated. john- _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
