I /think/ this is related to the EDID support or configuration.
What I do know is that you need specific EDID support when using a DisplayPort KVM because that switches the computer away on a regular basis. If you have multiple screens and a single screen KVM (fairly common) it will do the re-arrangement that you've experienced. With EDID support it keeps both output alive resulting in no re-arrangement.
EDIT: It seems the correct term may be "EDID emulation".

With EDID support it keeps both output alive resulting in no re-arrangement. Can you tell me some KVM switches that have a working implementation of that feature? I'm looking for one. I'm still using a DVI KVM, because when I tried to upgrade to Displayport (years ago), I ran into the problem you describe and gave up.
- zerkten 3y agoI have a TESmart (TES-HDK0402A1U-USBK) from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08259QL5J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08259QL5J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... which works fine in this regard. This was probably the 4th DisplayPort KVM I tried due to keyboard issues with the others.
- dogline 3y agoI'm looking too, but that one linked has HDMI out only, with DP and HDMI in. Don't you lose the benefit of DP with this setup?
- zerkten 3y agoIt has been OK for my needs, but I think you are best getting the KVM and returning if it doesn't meet your needs. I'd probably be more concerned if this was for my photography or gaming machine. For a work setup it has been fine for me.
