    Hi,
    I have problem with ubuntu 12.04, i'm testing some desktops using this platform and sometimes when i plug VGA connector from KVM switch Ubuntu don't recognize monitor and switching it off, on this same unit when i plug DVI everything is working correct. Do you can help me with this kind of issue ?

    Maybe it's this bug:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...el/+bug/988290

    I'm Erick there. I'm pretty sure it's a 'gnome-screensaver' issue, at least AMSlider verified that switching to 'xscreensaver' worked for him also.

    Is there any possibility to change output signal from DVI to VGA ? I've tried to change/remove/disable screenserver but it doesn't helped.

    Hi kali999.

    My first guess is that the Monitor's EDID information is not passing through the KVM.

    Depending on you graphic card, it might be possible to obtain the EDID into a file (while the monitor is directly connected), and then hardcode it in your X configuration file.

    What graphic card do you have?

    Regards.
