Yes, the culprit is most probably the KVM switch. If you plug the monitor 
directly, X should obtain the EDID data and everything would Just Work. But 
the KVM switch is interfering with this, hence automatic resolution detection 
doesn't work.

I suggest to rename the mode from "1920x1080 at 75" to "1920x1080", for two 
reasons: (1) it is simpler, and (2) your monitor actually works at 60Hz (as 
per Dell documentation), as most flat panel monitors do.

In addition, you might try to put the hsync/vsync signs as well (just to be 
sure). The Dell docs for your model say that they are +/+, so the full 
modeline should look like this (all in one line, beware of wordwrap):

Modeline "1920x1080" 148.5 1920 1952 2896 2928 1080 1101 1114 1135 +hsync 
+vsync

Of course, I cannot be sure about the above numbers, but I hope you know that 
they are correct.

// N.B. You can check this if you plug in the monitor directly (without the 
KVM switch), boot Fedora and look into the /var/log/Xorg.0.log --- the EDID 
data should be obtained and all available modes listed somewhere in the file, 
with the full modeline data each. //

You didn't ask for your manually configured mode to be actually used. Add the 
following in this section:

SubSection "Display"
    Viewport  0 0
    Depth     24
    Modes     "1920x1080" "1024x768"
EndSubSection

I assume you have renamed the modeline above to remove the "@75" part from the 
name. It's simpler, really. The second resolution is the fallback, in case 
something goes wrong with the first one.

Save the new xorg.conf and restart X (or reboot the machine). If all is well, 
it should pick up your manual modeline and use it. If not, send again the 
xorg.conf and the new /var/log/Xorg.0.log, to see what else might be wrong.

The X log file is very informative, and it is helpful to know how to look for 
relevant parts in case of problems. I'll try to point out the places which are 
relevant in this case (I don't want to trim anything so that you can have a 
feeling where in the file to look for this stuff):

Get familiar with the above notation. In particular, the (**), (WW) and (EE)

This is the first signal of the problem --- the EDID data could not be read, 
probably since the KVM switch is plugged between the monitor and the computer. 
The EDID data contains the information about the supported resolutions.

This part informs you that you didn't request any particular resolution to be 
used (the missing subsection in the "Screen" section in xorg.conf). You did 
specify the modeline, but did not ask for it to be used...

... so X falls back to the hard-coded default, which is 1024x768. This is 
chosen since this resolution should be available on *all* monitors which 
follow the VESA standards, and represents the "safest" fallback choice.

X tries again to read the EDID (this time to obtain the DPI info), fails 
again, and uses the built-in default instead.

I am not exactly sure why X wants to set up Xinerama, but this should not be 
related to the resolution problem, and I guess it can be ignored.

Ok, modify the xorg.conf as given above, and retry. I am not sure it will 
work, but fixing xorg.conf is typically the first thing to do when 
troubleshooting these problems. If it doesn't work, post again the 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, it should tell us what else might be wrong.

HTH, :-)
