I asked in this forum post about potential setting changes to allow my DIY PiKVM hardware to access my opnsense console via HDMI on an N95 mini PC.  Since then, I figured out that PiKVM works fine as long as it is connected when the firewall is booting up.  Unfortunately, it won't work if I connect it after the server has already booted.  Based on internet searches, I tried one of these, however it actually made it worse... not allowing PiKVM to work at all.

Is there any way I can force HDMI/console to reinitialize after boot so that the video output gets properly enabled?

Thanks,
Craig

I'm running the latest opnsense community version on an N95 Mini PC.  I have the console set up You cannot view this attachment.

While this displays fine on an attached monitor, it does not appear to work with my pikvm V2 DIY setup (using a Raspberry Pi HDMI to CSI-2 C779 Adapter Board).  Can anyone suggest Opnsense/FreeBSD settings that might help me get this working?

Thanks!
