    I don't have a solution, but I do use a Benq FP767 on an
    FC2->FC3 upgrade with no problems.

    The appropriate entry in /usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB has this:
    Benq; Benq FP767; 0; 31.5-83; 56.0-76.0; 1

    My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has a slightly different range for vertical
    refresh:
    Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "Monitor0"
        ModelName "Benq FP767"
        HorizSync 31.5 - 83.0
        VertRefresh 56.2 - 75.0
        Option "dpms"
    EndSection

    And the Screen section of xorg.conf looks like this:
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device "Videocard0"
        Monitor "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth 16
        SubSection "Display"
            Depth 16
            Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
    EndSection

    I don't know anything about issues caused by a KVM. But you might also
    mention what kind of video card you are using. Will the card
    handle 1280x1024?
