The Mac usually detects displays on waking up or restarting so if you didn't have the switch turned to the mac so it could detect the monitor it might be stuck in a weird state. You might be able to correct things by going to the Preferences->Displays and select the Detect Displays button which is supposed to re-run the hardware detection process. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but more often than not it gets things straightened out.

Hey there.
Any thoughts on this?
I had my Mini connected to a high res HDMI Dell monitor for awhile, and it
worked fine.  I connected it to a KVM switch and now though the PC works
fine when I switch to the Mini all I get is a monitor setup prompt.  And now
if I connect the Mini directly, I get the same error.

As previously mentioned, you can also use the rigged up VGA to NTSC/PAL
converter box to trick the Mac into thinking a real monitor is hooked
up. Check the mail archive for details or post back if you can't find
them and want to go that route.
