[TriLUG] OT: Monitor/KVM problems

[Lisa C. Boyd]

Tanner and J asked:
>Do the two computers have the same screen configuration
>(i.e. 1024x768, etc... refresh rate the same...)?

Yep. Both running at 1024x768 at 60 Hertz. Made sure of that yesterday. 
This morning when I booted up both computers (come to think about it) the 
screen on both was offset from the left about 1/2 inch. I used the 
horizontal adjustment and it cleared up - so maybe something is funky with 
the cables or the monitor.

Tanner suggested:

Hm. Good place to start - in the manual :) I'll check that too, and 
possibly there's some information in the KVM manuals. My husband set up the 
switch for me so I don't know what all is going on with that.

Thanks for the suggestions!
