I have a belkin Flip KVM switch hocked up to a PC and my Mac Mini.

I Have a 22 inch monitor connected to the KVM switch.

The problem Every time the Mac mini boots it detects the wrong resolution for the monitor if The monitor is connected to the KVM switch and the Monitor shows "Mode not supported"

If I attach the monitor directly to the Mini it detects the correct 1280 x 960 resolution.

Is there any way to force OS X to always use the 1280 x 960 resolution and not try to auto detect the display? This is in OS X 10.5.1, I never had the problem with Tiger.
