KVM problem

BloodWolf · 20 Jan 2007 at 04:44

I just thought i'd give this Newlink NLKVMP2PC a try since it supposed to have a maximum resolution of up to "Advanced video enhancement technology for crisp clear VGA quality up to 1920 x 1440 with DDC2B"

But when i'm on my computer, resolution of 1680*1050 its like only showing half the screen and you can scroll around it sort of thing.

Any idea why?

what hz (frequency) does the KVM support and what is your graphics card set to?

its only on 60hz

"scroll around it" ?
I've only seen that on a Dell with an incorrect video driver

The KVM is only passing on video, I can't see it resizing the screen
:confused:

Plug the monitor directly into the PC, what do you get ?

It's fine without it..

Its pretty normal.

Ive tried it on CCC 6.12 and 7.1 same, nothing changed.

What I mean by 'scrolling' is like it'll show half the screen, then when your cursor gets to bottom it'll like move down the screen if you get what I mean, like you're scrolling a website.

yep, that's what this dell does....

it's at work, so I'll investigate more on Monday

Well.. in the end I bought a newish KVM from a auction site. A Belkin 2-Port KVM Switch with Built-In Cabling F1DK102P, and it seems fine.

I guess the other one didn't actually support it like it supposed to.

But a question, can KVM result in any qualtiy or picture loss ? :eek:
