Now that I have one machine up and running on F9, I am beginning to
test connectivity with the rest of my LAN. While doing such, I noticed
an odd behavior that I did not notice in FC5.
I have three Linux boxes (one F9, two FC5) connected via a Linksys
WRT54GL with KVM (Belkin) display/input control and working before the
F9 conversion of one machine (that's a separate problem). What I am
seeing is that if I reboot the F9 system and have the KVM set to as
different system, the F9 machine comes up in a screwy display mode (I
liken it to thinking it is displaying on the oldest display settings
it can find).
I thought (and this may be a fallacy) that when a system rebooted it
used the last setting if it couldn't detect new or any hardware (my
assumption is that the F9 system is going "hey, there's no display").
Do I need to visit my xorg.conf and do some "force magic" so that it
will do such under F9?
I did a search of FedoraForum and found
"http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=184284&highlight=kvm+xorg.conf";,
but I have to admit I really don't understand it. It seems to me it is
suggesting that I need to push the info into X startup and somehow
that seems wrong as I would think the xorg.conf should be able to
dictate action. But maybe the comment about "X startup" is one and the
same and I am just not getting it.
Appreciate any help

Since you can't tell you have a "screwy" display until you switch the
KVM to show it...it is really rather simple to do a "ctrl-alt-bksp" and
tell X to restart.
When you have a kvm attached to your systems it does send some signals
to the systems not selected.
Now, that doesn't mean you shouldn't research and find a sw way around
it....it just means that I've decided that the energy needed to do
"ctrl-alt-bksp" is considerably less than finding a solution. :-)
Ed:
Did a bit of scanning on Google about "ctrl-alt-bksp" but can't honestly
say that I got much out of it since it was wrapped under threads
involving more serious failure issues. Let me give this a try the next
time I sit down with the Linux box as, though I agree that a "better
solution" is in order, I will quite happy for the near-term to just have
a way to kick the puppy into being correct.
Many thanks for the suggestion,
Paul
