Not really, As I understand it, the design philosophy was to remove all state from the 'system'. Using DDC acomplishes this by dynamically sensing the monitor settings. As a result, swapping monitors becomes a simple matter of hooking up the new one. I suggest the promblem is really with the KVM switch not supporting DDC - and yes I have monitors that don't support it too, but they are over 10 years old. IMHO, the original SunRay1 set out on a brave path with DDC for external monitor sizing and only usb for local peripherals (no serial or parallel ports). It's dissapointing to see this vision being retreated from slowly. For example the SunRay 170... My $0.02...
