The first option is to manually configure your /etc/X11/nf file (For more information on the nf file check out the nf articles on ). What if you already have a KVM switch? There are options. It's an inexpensive solution (approximately $70.00 USD) that will give you no problems. So from the above list, you would obviously want to go with the IO Gear 4-port miniview. IO Gear 4-port Miniview (USB): Easy switching, no freezing, monitor detected so resolution was perfect.Generic 4-port KVM (USB - purchased on Ebay): Poor switching, constant freezing, and couldn't detect monitor.Couldn't detect monitors so resolution was poor. IO Gear Miniview 2-port (USB): Switched between machines quickly, no freezing.Belkin Flip (USB): Switched between machines quickly, but lead to freezing with Ubuntu Linux.
Here are the KVMs I have used (and their results): I have tried four different KVM switches with modern Linux distributions - all with varied results. There is, unfortunately no way to know which KVM switch will work well with modern Linux setups. How do you get around this situation? In this article you will read a few tips that will help you get around this. But in some instances a KVM switch will get in the way and the X Windows display will be far from ideal (and some times not even usable). On a single system/single monitor setup this works perfectly.
