It is rare.. but it is better to buy a strictly video switch, in your case... the resolution at 1024x768 is mostly a problem with the monitor/display not the kvm switch. VGA RAMDACs would usually able to power resolutions exceeding 4Mpixels...even exceeding 3007wfp resolution (if it ever support vga input).

perhaps you can buy a usb to ps2 adapter just to supply power to 2 of the ps2 ports on the xbox side..might/might not work.

correction - vga switches are not rare, but the digital switches are...

get a digital switch(rare) if possible... VGA manual switch are cheap (made in China)and widely available.. but quality is so so... and if you are dealing with sub 1M pixel res. should be adequate..

when the manual switch contacts has worn out.. just get another..

Cheap solution --manual vga switch, brand new around RM 20 or less, got one 2nd hand one for RM3 ... manual 15 pins contacts switching

how cheap do you want to go?... vga cable with female to female extension head for manually switching wires without going to the back of the monitor?
