> analog port to connect to a Belkin KVM ... is crap The KVM is almost certainly the problem. Maybe you also have long cables? > Every time I switch machines on the KVM the sync changes. You might like to investigate some other brands of KVM gear. To some extent, you get what you pay for. Disclaimer: I have worked for one of Belkin's KVM competitors.

I do not think the KVM is the problem. It always worked well with a CRT display and the LCD loses perfect sync even when switching from 800x600 to text console then back to 800x600. It could be the video card, it could be the cables, it could be the LCD. But the point is that DVI does not have any of those problems because it is much less complicated to do digital->digital->digital than digital->analog->digital.
