Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] A KVM switch broke my server?! Lightdm is panic'ing the kernel

[Carl Brewer]

I tried using nvidia-xconfig to generate an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 and then hand-adding the speeds that my monitor supports.

The monitor is an AOC 27V2Q, which, according to




# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

What else can I try?

supports 30-88kHz horizontal and 50-75 Hz vertical so my xorg.conf file, now shows (I hand-added the vendor name, model and frequencies)  : # nvidia-xconfig:  version 390.144  (dvs-builder@U64-P08-16)  Wed Jun  2 22:56:17 UTC 2021 No difference, when I run startx or lightdm, the screen blanks, a white cursor appears on the top left of the screen, it then reboots. Tangentially, I don't really need a console, but I want a remote X11 display - I can run vncserver and get at VirtualBox's GUI from there, but it's defaulting to TWM, which was nice in 1989 ... Is there some way to get lightdm to work just with vncserver/Xvnc and not try to run on the console - as a workaround, I can live without the console.
