Certainly it pays to be careful of the startup.

Here with a Rextron USB KVM, if it isn't switched to the Iyonix when 
that starts, then no keyboard or mouse is found. The monitor does 
work, but the only thing I can do is press the reset button.

If it isn't switched to the laptop when that starts, the laptop, with 
an ATI Radeon graphics card ends up as 800x600 I think, on a 1280x1024 
LCD monitor. Depending on which Catalyst control panel version I have 
loaded, it is sometimes running only on the external monitor, with a 
blank internal screen. Cycling through the three options (internal, 
external, both) gets the resolution set correctly.
