Can't Get XWindows Up

[Jay Cotton]

We will also need to know what the monitor is, and the video board.

Ah, I see, KVM  bad juju for EDID code.  KVM's block some of the EDID readback.

Connect the monitor directly to the video board, run Xorg -configure, get the
the xorg.conf file, then connect back to the KVM.  That should get you the
data the server wants, assuming the monitor will provide the EDID data at all. (some don't)

Try this and get back to us.
