Any work arounds for this bug? I'm getting it as well using a Dell 19" LCD.

It seems I have gotten mine to work again by not only cold starting the box, but by cold starting the monitor and switch at the same time. It almost sounds silly, but everything is working fine now - when before nothing else worked.

As I said, things seem to be working, but the times I have timed out on the log-on screen the problem re-appears till I reboot.
Before everything seemed to be listed properly with the right nvidia video driver and screen resolution (1440x900), but looked like it was 640x480
After many hours over many days and many cold and warm boots later, I sorta gave up. Several days after that I boot up and EVERYTHING WORKED!
Still don't know why.

Here is the info requested:

I think I might be able to shed some more light on this issue.

I have only noticed this problem in the last few days.
First on a machine running 8.04, then on a machine running 7.04 (I'm guessing because some part of X.org in 7.04 has recently been updated via Update Manager).

The first two describe a similar problem. The third may describe part of the cause.

Earlier versions of X.org would create the /etc/xorg.conf file during installation.
This is fine until you change some of your video hardware.
Later versions of X.org now use 'dynamic recognition' of video hardware during boot.
Of course, if the machine is connected via a KVM switch and does not have 'sight' of the monitor during boot, X.org will default to 'safe' settings.
My assumption is that, prior to the very latest version, X.org would fall back on the xorg.conf file if it couldn't see the monitor.
Perhaps the X.org guys decided that, not 'seeing' the monitor might mean that an old monitor had been plugged in. In which case, using the settings in xorg.conf could damage the monitor.
This, of course, doesn't help those of us simply using a KVM switch.

Short term solution (tested and working for me):
Give the booting machine focus via the KVM until it's up.

Seems to have the needed info to have some developer eyes.

Please use attachments rather than comments for outputs next time though. :) It makes it easier to read when dealing with many bugs a day. I have attached them for you this time.

There's nothing that can be done. KVM's don't store the EDID data so that the machines not being focused would know what resolution the monitor can handle. Closing the bug.

There is quite easy (theoretical) resolution - allow user to specify edid information in config file.
