A lot of KVM switches don't pass through EDID info correcly (especially
for connections not currently active), there is a kernel option you
can add to the kernel boot line to point at a binary blob of EDID
info that will ovferride whatever incorrect nonsense it is getting from
the KVM. Usually you just want to save the EDID from the real monitor
when it is properly connected, then point the kernel at that so it
will always know the right stuff.

Hi Sorry to barge in.

How do I do that? Do you have a link I could go to and learn how to do it?
I have a KVM and whenever I switch from Fedora to the other PCs, I start getting a bunch of lines on the journal complaining that the system could not get the EDID info:

"nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Unable to read EDID for display device VGA-0"

Thanks
