I don't have a solution, but I do use a Benq FP767 on an
FC2->FC3 upgrade with no problems.

The appropriate entry in /usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB has this:
Benq; Benq FP767; 0; 31.5-83; 56.0-76.0; 1

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has a slightly different range for vertical
refresh:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    ModelName    "Benq FP767"
    HorizSync    31.5 - 83.0
    VertRefresh  56.2 - 75.0
    Option      "dpms"
EndSection

And the Screen section of xorg.conf looks like this:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Videocard0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth     16
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     16
        Modes    "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

I don't know anything about issues caused by a KVM.  But you might also
mention what kind of video card you are using.  Will the card
handle 1280x1024?
