many moons ago, before grub, i had 4 boxen with various linux flavors
feeding a kvm and all worked.

after a lot of coin saving, i invested in an intelligent 19" crt monitor,
connected direct to each box and edited the xorg.config for each boxen to
match new monitor, only to have system failure with 'signal out of range'
err when feeding thru kvm.

after many attempts of more editing of xorg.config file with all failing,
i gave up and decided to power up just 1 box to see if it would boot. it
did. i then powered up other three boxen and all was well.

my only conclusion was the kvm was getting confused, tho i still have yet
to reason why, nor have i bothered to give it further thought.

so, question to you, have you tried powering up just 1 box to see what
happens?
