E-dock with dual monitors, KVM, all apps moved to monitor 1 when switching to other PC
I recently received a new Latitude e6400 with the Intel 4500MHD and the E-dock where I have connected two monitors through an Iomega KVM switch (GCS634U) - a 4 port device. When I switch from my laptop to my desktop, which only uses Monitor 2, all applications on that monitor are moved to Monitor 1 by the E6400, so when I return I have to re-position them on Monitor 2 again.
With the same KVM, I had a Latitude D620 with an NVidia controller, and this worked find - switching between PCs did not change the arrangement of any applications on the laptop when I worked on my XPS 420 machine.
Is this an issue with the Intel 4500MHD card, or is it configurable to allow this? The KVM must provide an active signal to the video card as this worked on the D620 before.
Help!?

The exact same thing happens to me. My KVM is the GCS632U. This is very frustrating. I may just have to craft some kind of VGA signal analyzer to figure out how to keep the monitor "active."
