linux - Issues with KVM switch and xrandr

I've got two computers routed through a VGA KVM switch to a 1920x1080 monitor.



The input and output of the KVM are VGA. On one of the computers, there is only a single DVI-I output, so I've attached a DVI-I to VGA converter to it.



For some reason, xrandr doesn't pick up the full resolution on the computer with the adapter, so I've manually added the correct resolution (xrandr only detects a maximum of 1024x768) and force it to that resolution after boot.



But every time I switch away and back to the computer using the KVM switch, xrandr goes back to the 1024x768 resolution. Is there any way to force xrandr to always use only the 1920x1080 resolution?



I'm running CentOS 6.6 x64, if OS is an issue.
