Startup timing in 0.4.0 and screen scaling

[vmsman]

The 0.4.0 release hangs the GUI in "connecting" state trying to see the attached HDMI video. I was able to fix this by editing the /etc/init.d/rcS and adding a "sleep 5" before the /userdata/jetkvm/bin/jetkvm_app & at the end of the file. This resolves the startup issue.

I believe this problem will only occur for users that use the USB power from the host computer to power the Jetkvm. If you are powering your JetKVM from a dongle, you should not see this issue.

Also in 0.4.0 it is necessary to zoom the JetKVM window out massively because the viewport window is not automatically scaled as in previous versions.

Running into the same issue with v0.4.0 (on Macbook Pro Google Chrome latest).
I power JetKVM with a separate power-supply, but encounter the same issues ("no HDMI screen" and screen not scaling).

Did the fix I mentioned work for you?

Noob here; I wouldn't know how to do this? Willing to try though 😊

Thanks for the assist vmsman. I've just update to 0.4.1 and my main problem seems to have been fix (scaling) and the "connecting" issues seems to be fixed as well (or at least: no longer seeing this with the latest update).
