Remove the KVM completely. Then configure X and test it. Then put the KVM back. If the operation of X with the KVM does not match the operation of X with the KVM, then buy a new KVM. By the way, any setup which is using a KVM switch is officially unsupported unless any problem experienced is reproduceable on a fresh booth with the keyboard, video and mouse plugged directly into the computer.
