Remote control does not work | The remote console requires a display setting of 1024x768@60Hz in the blade server |
with default SuSE Linux, | operating system. The default resolution in SuSE is 1024x768, but the default refresh |
version 8.0, display settings. | rate falls somewhere between 50Hz and 60Hz. The remote console does not work for |
| a blade server running SuSE with a display refresh rate other than exactly 60Hz. The |
| message “eServer/No video available” displays. |
| Other operating systems do not exhibit the problem. |
| Set the refresh rate in the XF86Config file to exactly 60Hz. |
There are two methods.
vMethod 1 (unattended network install, prevent the problem): Modify the AutoYaST control file to specify 1024x768@60Hz.
1.Run the graphical interface to the AutoYaST control file to set the VESA video mode to 1040x768@60Hz. The graphical interface creates the AutoYaST control file.
2.Edit the resulting AutoYaST control file to set the value for min_vsync to 60.
During an unattended network install, the YaST program uses the AutoYaST control file to modify the XF86Config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config); these changes will cause XF86Config to set the display resolution to 1040x768 with a refresh rate of 60Hz.
vMethod 2 (situation has already occurred): Modify the xF86Config file.
1.In the Monitor section of /etc/X11/XF86Config, change the value of VertRefresh to 60, as shown in these sample lines.
Section “Monitor”
Option | “CalcAlgorithm” “IteratePrecisely” |
HorizSync | |
