Screen Resolution

The KX132 supports 1280x1024@60Hz max resolution --- we have a 19" LCD panel on it that matches this.

The Raritan doesn't pass the monitor info through --- the OS can't probe the monitor. So set something like this in xorg.conf

UM

UM site has 2 KVMs, in LSA and Randall. In order to use the KVM, one could first download the Raritan Multiple Platform Client.

The configurations for the client are:

1) LSA

Hints of using KVM

Hit the StrLk key twice to log out from the connection (Please note, if it is connected by one user, then other users can not log in. So always log out from the connection after you are done)
