Had a little trouble at first getting it to work at its native resolution. Found I had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add "1280x1024" to the video modes line for all depths up to 24. Then, following a note in the xorg.conf file, I ran: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Set the KDE desktop resolution to 1280x1024. It didn't look right at first, but was OK after I let the monitor run its Autoconfigure. I don't have a KVM switch, so don't know about that. The monitor looks great! Kraig
