This glitch is with your KVM hardware.  It is your KVM switch's 
responsibility to be completely transparent; so that the connected servers 
aren't even aware of its existence.  There's just one exception: only the 
server that's currently active will obviously be able to autoprobe the 
monitor's plug-and-pray configuration.

Except for that, you will have to direct any compatibility issues to the 
KVM's manufacturer.
