Resolving Fedora Core Focus
Using the Multi-Platform Client (MPC), occasionally there is an inability to
log in to a Dominion KX II device or to access KVM target servers
(Windows
®
, SUSE, and so forth). In addition, the Ctrl+Alt+M key
combination may not bring up the Keyboard Shortcut menu. This
situation occurs with the following client configuration: Fedora
®
Core 6
and Firefox
®
1.5 or 2.0.
Through testing, it has been determined that installation of libXp resolves
window focusing issues with Fedora Core 6. Raritan has tested with
libXp-1.0.0.8.i386.rpm; this resolved all of the keyboard focus and
popup-menu problems.
Note: libXp is also required for the SeaMonkey (formerly Mozilla
®
)
browser to work with the Java
™
plug in.
VKC and MPC Smart Card Connections to Fedora Servers
If you are using a smart card to connect to a Fedora
®
server via MPC or
VKC and you remove the smart card once you are connected, the
pcsc-lite library on FC7 and FC8 servers is not released and you must
restart the pcscd daemon to release it. To avoid this, upgrade the
pcsc-lite library to 1.4.102-3 or above.
Resolving Issues with Firefox Freezing when Using Fedora
If you are accessing Firefox
®
and are using a Fedora
®
server, Firefox
may freeze when it is opening. To resolve this issue, install the
libnpjp2.so Java
™
plug-in on the server.
Video Modes and Resolutions
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]"
