Resolving Fedora Core Focus
Using the Multi-Platform Client (MPC), occasionally there is an inability
to log into a Dominion KX II device or to access target servers (Windows,
SUSE, etc.). In addition, the Ctrl+Alt+M key combination may not bring
up the Keyboard Shortcut menu. This situation occurs with the following
client configuration: Fedora Core 6 and Firefox 1.5 or 2.0.
Through testing, it has been determined that installation of libXp
resolves window focusing issues with Fedora Core 6. Raritan has tested
with libXp-1.0.0.8.i386.rpm; this resolved all of the keyboard focus and
popup-menu problems.
Note: libXp is also required for the SeaMonkey (formerly Mozilla) browser to
work with the Java plugin.
SUSE/VESA Video Modes
The SuSE X.org configuration tool SaX2 generates video modes using
modeline entries in the X.org configuration file. These video modes do
not correspond exactly with VESA video mode timing (even when a
VESA monitor is selected). Dominion KX II, on the other hand, relies on
exact VESA mode timing for proper synchronization. This disparity can
result in black borders, missing sections of the picture, and noise.

To configure the SUSE video display:
1. The generated configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf includes a
“Monitor” section with an option named UseModes. For example:
UseModes "Modes[0]"
2. Either comment out this line (using #) or delete it completely.
3. Restart the X server.
With this change, the internal video mode timing from the X server will
be used and will correspond exactly with the VESA video mode timing,
resulting in the proper video display on the Dominion KX II.
