Sounds like a wrong vid-card choice, to me. Do a control>Alt>F1 to level 3 and run the config tool (or better yet, edit your /etc/inittab to boot to level 3 instead of 5, reboot and then run the tool). I run a KVM switch, without problems, but my latest mdk version is 9.2. I do have a SuSe 9.1 install (2.6 kernel) on the switch and it is fine. BTW, you might want to turn off the "reply to" for list postings. You will probably get more and better help if everyone can take part in the discussion. There are some darn knowledgeable folks on this list that should be able to expand on my suggestions. e
