hello all,
my viewsonic 22" widescreen monitor has a native resolution of
1680*1050..When connected using the digital ports it works but if i
connect
to the analogue port using an analogue kvm i cant get the native
resolution..only 1600*1200,1024*768 etc..does this mean that these
widescreen resolutions can only be supplied by the digital port making
my
kvm somewhat obsolete.
thanks for any info

Must be a driver issue. Check for new driver.

I'd suggest that too, only:
FIRST try the analog port without the KVM switch in there.
If it works on analog directly connected, then it's the KVM.
If not, it's likely a driver issue.

I doubt it's the KVM.

ok ,I've tried analog without kvm and 1680*1050 is ok..Run it through
the kvm(only one system connected) and it dont work..can only get
1600*1200,1024*768 etc..so i guess the kvm is the culprit..bummer.have to
get a dvi kvm i suppose.
thanks.

I have always considered analog output limits when buying a KVM. Just like
a video card purchase. If its an older model, then I would definitely
figure its the KVM. So look at your specs on the new one you buy.
crikey!!dvi kvms are a bit pricey..think i'll wait a while till dvi is more
mainstream.
