Re: Intel Extreme Graphics video controller

Get the chainsaws ready. Out on a limb here.

IF the KVM is giving the video card feedback, the setting may be out of 
range for the monitor. Have you tried setting the video settings manually to 
a low level setting?

The thinking here is that the new cards can out drive the monitor where the 
older cards maxed out were within the capabilities of the monitor. With a 
direct connection it gets the correct feedback.

Just a theory. Go ahead and crank em up!
