I took out the KVM switch but still had the same problem and decided to
wait until the FC12 release -- maybe a fresh install would fix things.
But then, with the KVM switch back in place and with the latest set of
updates, everything started working: I have 1680x1050 screen resolution
when I log on. So whatever was interfering with auto-detection (probably
not the Belkin KVM switch) has stopped doing so. --Jerry
