Hello,
I plan to install a KVM for 2 monitors.
One machine has a VGA/DVI on the motherboard, and the other one has 2 DP.
Both monitors are VGA/DVI/DP
I have to replace the VGA out by a DP.
What would be the best option:
1) Add a DP video card on the PCIExpress bus (and use the DVI of the

Another drawback might be that you can’t access your home server or desktop
while on the road. You can't configure port sharing or a VPN endpoint like you
can on your landline router.

Technically it does, you just have to figure out what the os process
is and kill it, each tab is a separate os process.I have killed
weather channel with kill -9 many times(it is easy to find it as it
leaks ram and is the only multiple-gb firefox thread).

I don't believe KVM allows separation by video port. I think you can
only give a KVM the entire card. And even if KVM allowed you to give
it a single port I think X/Wayland assumes total control of the card
and cards ram (I could be wrong, but that would require knowing about
the 2nd instance and

ok. that makes a bit more sense. And by KVM he means just
keyboard-mouse since he has 2 monitors and does not need the video
and/or the video is separated by monitor.
I am not sure what he is trying to do given this setup. Depending on
what he is trying to do, there may be easier ways to do wh

Typically you have to go full custom and assuming home is on a VG with
free space you would then have to create a LV and define a fs on it,

Similar would have to be done with /boot outside of LVM and if efi
would you also need a /boot/efi again outside of LVM.

Use a DVI KVM (check it allows EDID passthru).
You can passively convert DP to DVI with a cable.

I am sorry for the confusion.
I am attaching a pdf to clarify my approach.
The question is about what to set in PC1.
The VGA port cannot be used for this setup.
Option 1:
try to use the DVI of the MB and
add a graphics card with one DP port
Option 2:
add a dual port DP/DP video card, with a conver
so you want a dual-dual-monitor setup with a KVM.
Have you considered getting a single large 4k monitor/tv instead of 2
smaller ones(assuming the smaller ones are 1080p)? That would
simplify a lot of what you would need to buy.
I am running a 4k TV across 2 machines, physically it is 43" and I

Sure, but I already have the 2 monitors and the 2 PCs.

I will pay money to simplify the config and/or the mess such that it

What kind of device/controller are those filesystems on?
They would have to be something weird for anaconda to not have the right driver.
it is not a sdhc/mmc type card is it?

keep a second firefox window open, alt-tab to it run about:performance
and it will list out all of your tabs and you can X a specific tab.
Try about:performance I have to use it a lot to figure out which tab
lost its mind and is slowing everything down because it decided it
needs gb's of ram.
