displayed, and the user will be directed to install the latest version from the SUN Java website.

before 13, SUSE all versions before 10.x. Consult the User Guide for more information.
16. Use the pre-defined macros created for the Japanese Kana Key and the R-ALT-KANA key, as these keys are not consistently
received from the JRE.

from your KX II switch.

Release 2.5 Important Notes and Information:
1. New Digital Video CIMs (DVI, HDMI & DisplayPort):
a. The Digital Video CIMs support E-EDID and DDC to communicate the “Preferred Timing Mode,” i.e. the user’s preferred
video resolution, as well as the other supported video resolutions, to the target server. This preferred video resolution,
known as the “Display Native Resolution” on the Port Configuration page on the KX II user interface, defaults to
1280x1024@60hz, but can be changed by the user.
b. Some servers, especially at the BIOS level, may not automatically change to the preferred (native) resolution provided
by the CIM to the server. Users can manually change the “Display Native Resolution,” change the resolution manually
on the server, re-boot the server or consult the server or KX II documentation for additional suggestions.
c. Sometimes video may not display for certain preferred video resolutions on some servers. Try using a different
resolution, re-boot the server or consult the server or KX II documentation.
d. Do not change the port’s “Display Native Resolution” during virtual media transfers – it may interrupt the transfer.
e. On Linux, you may need to restart the X window system or reboot the system when changing the “Display Native
Resolution.”
f. DVI-D and DVI-I are supported by the D2CIM-DVUSB-DVI, but not DVI-A (less common).
