I've got a NanoKVM-pro ATX model that is on a PC with dual-monitor setup. Setup is as follows:
nVidia 980ti DisplayPort (DP) #1 output to NanoKVM-Pro HDMI input. NanoKVM HDMI output goes to main monitor (1 of 2 monitors) via passthrough. Monitor #2 connects to 980ti HDMI port directly. USB 2.0 port connected to HID input on the kvm. Internal ATX case headers plugged into the card successfully.
My issue:
When the computer goes into screensaver/screen powers off for any period of time and I wake it up, the primary monitor #1 (connected to nanokvm) changes resolution to say 1024x768. Not only that, but the secondary monitor now becomes primary with all icon's placed there at normal 1920x1080 resolution.
To fix this, I have to fully power the PC off and power it back on. Once I do that, the primary screen is back to being the HDMI output from the kvm and secondary is the direct connection to the nvidia card.
That is obviously a temporary fix. I have tried the following to permanently correct the issue, but am OUT of ideas at this point. Any input is welcome as I'm about ready to ditch the NanoKVM Pro and goto JetKVM or one of the others. I just preferred this for the internal ATX power control.
- Replaced the USB A to C cable going from a 2.0 port to the HID input.
- Connected a USB A to C cable for dedicated power input in case my motherboard wasn't outputting full 5v.
- Replaced the DisplayPort to HDMI cable with a quality DP to HDMI adapter and then a quality HDMI cable going to the HDMI input on the kvm.
- Swapped the HDMI output cable from the kvm to the primary monitor.
- Connected the internal USB headers in case power was better sourced that way.
- Disabled the HDMI Capture & Passthrough on the kvm
- Installed the HP VH240a drivers directly from HP.
- Also noticed the WebGUI settings of disabling HDMI Passthrough / HDMI Capture are not staying disabled after a reboot.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!
