[plug] kvm issues

Hi,

I am wondering if other people are using KVMs? I use a DUAL-VGA KVM
(Aten CS-1744), because I use dual display on my Windows PC and my Linux
(OpenSuSe 10) PC.

The thing that I've noticed is that if you start up the linux box whilst
the kvm is set to another PC (i.e. it's not active on the Linux Box) -
the X windows session doesn't pick-up the correct resolution or behave
the same as compared to if you started it up with the KVM set to the
linux box.

I am imagining that Aten build their KVM's to spec to Windows-based
drivers and software specs. Is this the reason or is it that Linux has
poor handling of KVMs?

By the way - the cricket is on today :) One day series is 1-all and
starts at 11 am at the Gabba.
