Bill,
I would start by exploring 2 paths. The quick one is to comment out the
ModeLines above and make sure that you specify a Modes line like this under
your Screen section in your xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Does it give a similar error? And if that doesn't work then I would look
into whether or not the switchbox has upgradable firmware. I know some of
the more data center oriented KVMs that I've worked with have need an
upgrade on occasion for issues such as this, I just don't know if the more
desktop centric ones would provide that ability.
