Analog KVM auto switches, especially super cheap ones such as your IOGEAR, are notoriously finicky when it comes to driving high resolutions, displaying horrible artifacts, if they can drive the bandwidth at all. And the longer the cables the worse it gets. They also rarely pass DDC signals correctly. Ironically the even cheaper manual switch analog KVMs are better with DDC. If you want to run 1600x1200 I think you're simply asking too much of this KVM, regardless of the advertised 1920x1440 max resolution in the spec sheet. I don't have an answer for you as to how you can force the startup res of your vid card to 1600x1200. But I think if you do find a way, your KVM and monitor likely aren't going to deal with it very well, if at all. Your ASUS mobo has a DVI connector, but your monitor does not. If the monitor did, I'd recommend you switch to a DVI/USB KVM, as that should eliminate the problem you're having. I'm guessing you don't need all 8 ports. Find a used good quality/brand manual switch analog KVM and see if that works. Best of luck. Analog KVMs can be a real PITA... -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
