Last Updated 18 hours ago
Possible Causes
1. Software Rendering Issues
- Symptom: The CICB-Banner flashes on the second screen.
- Cause:
- The software does not explicitly set the rendering target for the second screen. (pending to fix in the feature release)
- The software is incompatible with the resolution or refresh rate passed through the KVM switch.
2. EDID Transmission from the KVM
- Symptom: The KVM switch fails to relay or emulate accurate EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) for the second screen.
- Cause:
- The software doesn’t receive proper resolution and refresh rate data for rendering on the second display.
- Delayed or incomplete EDID data can lead to flickering as the software continually reinitializes its display context.
3. Resolution or Refresh Rate Mismatch
- Symptom: The second screen fails to render software content smoothly.
- Cause:
- The resolution or refresh rate the software sets is incompatible with the second screen’s configuration, mainly through the KVM.
4. OS or Graphics Driver Configuration
- Symptom: When using a KVM switch, the operating system or graphics driver doesn’t fully detect the second screen’s capabilities.
- Cause:
- The second screen’s settings are not correctly applied due to signal interference from the KVM.
