G'Day

Is anybody using a keyboard/monitor switch on G4's with yellowdoglinux?

Setup:
4 x G4's with one monitor ,mouse and keyboard attached.
Running yellowdoglinux on G4's with NO X windows, just command line.
USB switch with VGA/SVGA monitor port.

Problem:
Monitor is not working.

Description:
This product worked ok under Macintosh OS but not under YellowDogLinux.
The monitors and keyboard work ok connected directly to the G4.
The USB Keyboard and mouse are working, as I can type in the username and
password and shutdown command.

Note:
In the instruction for the switch it states:
<quote>
a) In STANDARD CMOS, set HALT ON ERROR to ALL BUT KEYBOARD

b) In PNP AND PCI SETUP, set PNP OS INSTALLED to YES; set USB IRQ to ENABLED

(Mac users do not have to do this)
