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.
