Except that using higher resolutions can damage monitors if they can't
handle it. Admittedly, this would be old CRTs, but the missing EDID case
is also likely to be due to old hardware.
It appears that Xorg has gotten so good at protecting me from myself that
when it comes up with the wrong answer, I am just stuck. Maybe a different
8 port KVM might produce better results, but I am not ready to buy another.
