SUSE/VESA Video Modes

The SuSE X.org configuration tool SaX2 generates video modes using
modeline entries in the X.org configuration file. These video modes do
not correspond exactly with VESA video mode timing (even when a
VESA monitor is selected). The Dominion KX II, on the other hand, relies
on exact VESA mode timing for proper synchronization. This disparity
can result in black borders, missing sections of the picture, and noise.

To configure the SUSE video display:

1. The generated configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf includes a

Monitor section with an option named UseModes. For example,
UseModes "Modes[0]"

2. Either comment out this line (using #) or delete it completely.

3. Restart the X server.

With this change, the internal video mode timing from the X server will be
used and will correspond exactly with the VESA video mode timing,
resulting in the proper video display on the Dominion KX II.

USB Ports and Profiles

VM-CIMs and DL360 USB Ports

HP DL360 servers have one USB port on the back of the device and
another on the front of the device. With the DL360, both ports cannot be
used at the same time. Therefore, a dual VM-CIM cannot be used on
DL360 servers.

However, as a workaround, a USB2 hub can be attached to the USB port
on the back of the device and a dual VM-CIM can be attached to the
hub.
