Intel Extreme Graphics video controller

I am running Tao update 2 that has the latest updates applied. I seem to be
having a problem with my video. I am using an Intel D845GVSRL motherboard
which has the Intel Extreme Graphics controller built on the board. This
particular machine is ganged through a KVM with 3 other machines. All work
fine except the Extreme Graphics machine. Before the updates of Update2,
video would just disappear when X would start, including all 6 console
windows. After the update, I get nice vertical color stripes on all 7
windows (X plus the 6 consoles).

The really bad part is that this only happens through the KVM. I realize I
could run this without the KVM, but that means buying another monitor, and I
can't really afford to do this as we want to use this board as a replacement
for all of our Dell machines when they fail.

Has anyone seen this and have a solution. I'm not sure it's strictly related
to the KVM, but that it is just a consequence of all factors. I did actually
get things to start once (without any changes). I just don't know how.

Thanks
