I think that would be the second best solution, after fixing KVM.
But if it's as hard and nearly impossible as you said I think it would be
better to include a GUI to manually change the resolution.

Well, the fact that KVM's sometimes squelch EDID has been a well known
issue for a long long time. As you mentioned, there is no known
solution that can be applied automatically. So for this particular
issue I believe we're at a dead end.
However, for this use case, others have

2) check that EDID data can be captured from your monitor ('sudo get-edid |
parse-edid')
If EDID data is captured

For anyone reading this issue, the cause has ultimately been determined to be
the fact that a Belkin Omniview KVM switch interferes with the collection of
