I feel like an utter noob.

I bought a d-link KVM-121 today but it doesn't work. Why? Because there is no "keyboard" connected at the xbox end of the cable. OMG. gg. It won't allow me to switch if there's no keyboard detected.

And what's worse the maximum resolution the damn thing can go for the PC was 1024 x 768. Any larger and the screen won't fit. I don't think i can return this can I, because technically it IS working but just not for the Xbox.

Can someone tell me, how you guys switch between PC and Xbox for your monitor and speakers? Besides from the obvious switch cables la....i mean which KVM you guys use etc.

Yes same guy. 

I'm using a laptop as my CPU btw...so i only have a audio out.

I guess i have no real "cheap" solution. KVM has too many problems like resolution and switching problems.

Best is to buy new monitor or new LCD/Plasma TV which i cannot afford.

I'm already doing that currently. Was hoping the KVM would be a 1 button push solve all my problems solution.

Do they still sell manual VGA switches?
