2407 with KVM Switch Problem

Hello Everyone -
 
I just received my 2407. My current setup is I have 4 PCs going into a KVM switch and connected to a CRT monitor. Everything works.
 
I set up the 2407 into the KVM switch and updated my PC to 1920 x 1200. I then receive a message on the 2407 saying "Out of range signal. Cannot display video. Pls set card to 1920 x 1200"
 
My PC is already set to 1920 x 1200 and if I plug the 2407 directly into the PC (not using the KVM switch) the monitor works perfectly.
 
What can I do to use the KVM switch? I'm just using the 'normal' VGA.
 
This is the KVM switch I have:
 
Many Thanks

    I shopped around and bought a GEFEN DVI KVM switch. Works well with the 2407wfp

    I picked Gefen because of all the good reviews. I'm switching a PC and a PS3 on the DVI connection and i had to get something that supported 1080p and 1920x1200. Thats about all i can tell you.

    matt - thanks for the reply. Is there anything specific I should look for when buying the KVM? Obv the ports and supporting 1920x1200 resolution...I just don't understand why my current KVM doesn't work and don't want to spend $$ on another that won't work.
