[Original Report]
Using a fresh daily build of Intrepid (tried both the live cd and an
installation made with the alternate cd):
Xorg fails when an external monitor is connected to my laptop (Dell Inspiron
6400, ATI X1400 graphics card) through a KVM switch. After a scrambled splash
screen, the screen goes black.
The problem does not to occur when the monitor is unplugged or connected to the
laptop directly (instead of through the switch). It also works fine in Hardy.
In case it is relevant, this is the KVM switch:

The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 930BF.
...later...
With a freshly installed Intrepid (and all upgrades) there has indeed been some
development.
X11 still fails, but independently from whether the KVM switch is attached or
not. Also, the output from xrandr and get-edid is identical, no matter how the
monitor is connected.
Since I'm not sure which two cases you're interested in (I think the KVM switch
is no longer the issue), I'm attaching register dumps for all three cases:
*_1screen: no external monitor, everything works
*_2screen: external monitor (directly connected): black screen
*_kvm: external monitor (connected via KVM switch): black screen
