Viewsonic Monitor Weird

Here is what I am running
2 Computers, XPpro/sp2 , NEC lcd, ATI 9600xt and KVM switch. I updated
my monitor to a Viewsonic VX2035wm 20" lcd. No problems with the NEC.

My second machine is not connected to the monitor when it boots, so
the monitor is not seen and comes up as default monitor. I changed the
default to see the Viewsonic, but the resolution is wacked out.
I think the other computer may have the same problem, but don't want
to go there yet !!

Went through to whole monitor and ATI driver setup a few times.
Did a repair reinstall of XP.
I do have the icm file in win\sys32\spool\color.
But I haven't found the .inf or .pnf files.[don't know if I really
need them] since the .icm file is where it should be.

I emailed Viewsonic since I beleive it is their driver that is bad
since the NEC worked fine.

Anyone have a idea ?

Thanks

Try using the device manager to detect new hardware, i.e.
the monitor? Why isn't it connected when you boot the
computer?

Tried all that.
Because it is on the OFF side of the KVM switch.

Am waiting for Viewsonic to reply. It's their driver causing the
problem. Where the NEC driver didn't care if the monitor
was attached.

Hook it up directly, not through the KVM. Update the
drivers and then re-connect the KVM.
