IF you are running text mode, your diagnosis is probably wrong (the exception is if you have a really, really, really old VGA-only monitor and a new computer...I've actually found a some new computers just don't run at standard VGA freqencies...ever). It has nothing to do with wscons configuration or terminal type. Unplug your monitor from the back of the KVM and plug it into the computer directly, see if you get your display. If so, your KVM system is broke (possibly bad cables). IF you are running X, it is possible (even likely) your KVM isn't passing the capabilities of your monitor back to the computer under some or all circumstances, so the computer could be starting up at some unreasonable resolution when running through the KVM that it won't do when running directly to the monitor. In this case, you will need to hard-set X to run at exactly the resolution and timing you are after. Nick.
