I'll try this tonight once I'm home, but
o I've tried with the monitor directly attached to the Radeon (but
the keyboard and mouse were still going through the KVM).
o The Matrox G200 has no problems with the same configuration.
Yeah, I know that doesn't *really* matter, but it makes me
pessimistic about my chances of success with removing the KVM.
So I'll try this tonight, but if you can think of other things, let me
know and I'll try them, too. This X problem is just the last item in
a long set of problems setting up this system (vendor shipped wrong
memory, try again. vendor shipped wrong CPUs, try again. Oops didn't
pay attention, got a "power by ATI card, try again). By the time I
get things working, the warranties on all the hardware will have
expired :-/

roland
