kvm display issue

[Paul Newell]

Fedora-list at redhat.com:

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
Paul
