Dell Chassis Cable Lengths and Video Resolutions
In order to maintain video quality, Raritan recommends using the
following cable lengths and video resolutions when you are connecting to
Dell
®
blade chassis from the KX II:
Cable length
Video resolution

Fedora
Resolving Fedora Core Focus
Using the Multi-Platform Client (MPC), occasionally there is an inability to
log in to a KX II device or to access KVM target servers (Windows
®
,
SUSE, and so forth). 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
plug-in.
Mouse Pointer Synchronization (Fedora)
When connected in dual mouse mode to a target server running Fedora
®
7, If the target and local mouse pointers lose synchronization, changing
the mouse mode from or to Intelligent or Standard may improve
synchronization. Single mouse mode may also provide for better control.
To resynchronize the mouse cursors:
Use the Synchronize Mouse option from the Virtual KVM Client.
VKC and MPC Smart Card Connections to Fedora Servers
If you are using a smart card to connect to a Fedora
®
server via MPC or
VKC upgrade the pcsc-lite library to 1.4.102-3 or above.
