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?
