Hello,

Something not so hightech today, the KVM for one of the Sun servers has froozen. We have not been able to find the cause. Here are the symptoms:

* KVM screen works and gets refreshed in a window by the Sun server, also boot of the server is displayed
* KVM prompt doesn't flash and appears not to accept input
* KVM mouse pointer doesn't move
* The KVM doesn't react on the keyboard input to switch server
* We have restarted the Sun servers
* We have "restarted" the KVM
* When the primary server is boots, KVM will show the login window, but no input. It's frozen immediately.

Any ideas? Possible errors:

* Sun server software (x windows)?
* cables from kvm to kvm switch or kvm switch to sun server
* kvm switch itself defect?
* keyboard / cable from keyboard defect?
