Along with looking at
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/EDID/

as pointed to by Tom, you should also look at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting#Forcing_modes_and_EDID

Basically, because you have a KVM that doesn't relay the EDID data from the 
monitor
to the kernel faithfully you'll need to override it.  The link above gives
information on how to do that.  The hard part can be getting the actual EDID
information from your monitor to place in /usr/lib/firmware/edid .  I only have
experience doing that with nVidia binary drivers where it is easy to do with 
their
nvidia-settings utility.  There is a monitor-edid package available which 
supplies
monitor-get-edid which may or may not work.  If you install it, you'll probably 
find
it gets a selinux error which you can fix easily.  But it won't work for me 
after
that but that may be due to my choice of drivers.

Anyway, something like this happened to me quite some time ago.  I found the 
least
painful thing to do was to research and then go out and buy a good KVM.  I no 
longer
have the need for KVM so I can't recommend a product.  But that is what I would 
do. 
Not only would it solve the problem for me with the least amount of pain/effort 
I
wouldn't have to go through the same process in the event of a fresh install or
another reason.
