Using GUI Console Redirection 175
3 It is recommended that you configure your monitor display resolution to
1280x1024 pixels or higher.
NOTE: If you have an active console redirection session and a lower resolution
monitor is connected to the iDRAC KVM, the server console resolution may reset if
the server is selected on the local console. If the server is running a Linux operating
system, an X11 console may not be viewable on the local monitor. Pressing
<Ctrl><Alt><F1> at the iDRAC KVM will switch Linux to a text console.
NOTE: Occasionally, you may encounter the following Java Script Compilation
Error: "Expected: ;". To resolve this issue, adjust the network settings to use
"Direct connection" in JavaWebStart: "Edit->Preferences->General->Network
Settings" and choose "Direct Connection" instead of "Use browser settings."
