KVM Switch? Drop down to "init 3". Bring up a shell window to do so. Reconfigure X. init 3 is runlevel 3.
I had a machine with a nvidia card in it and added in a KVM Switch and then X would not even boot. Removed the kvm and no problems. So I had to reconfigure X to work with it.
Its been my general experience that many KVM switches don't handle the VESA VDID stuff at all well, and whenever you reboot the system, you have to be sure to have the monitor selected to that system until its fully up, or the VGA BIOS and the system driver doesn't get the VDID monitor detection at all correct.
