FactTech,

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 proposed that a solution would
be to provide a manual configuration GUI such as we used to in Gutsy
(displayconfig-gtk, which unfortunately became obsolete once X moved to
xrandr).  Do you agree that this would be an acceptable resolution for
this particular problem?  If so, then I'd suggest we dupe this bug to
that master bug, bug #240916.  Let me know if you agree; if not, explain
what other resolution you'd like to see.
