1 I'm checking out my old backup desktop machine and it has dropped to
2 1024x768 max. I distinctly remember it running 1920x1080 on my
3 1920x1080 monitor in the past. (When I say old, I mean a Dell Inspiron
4 530 from 2008) I'm using a KVM switch, like I always have. Could that
5 be the problem? xrandr reports...
