Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. The keyboard works fine. The monitor
is not autodetected, so I get some low resolution, 800x600 I think. I
also have to turn off the hardware cursor or I get an invisible mouse
pointer. If I plug the same hardware directly into the computer when
it boots, then it gets detected fine. The KVM switch appears to be
getting in the way somehow.
