To clarify, the symptom on my Windows 10 PC (EVGA RTX 2080 Ti), any windows for open apps get moved around when I switch the KVM to another PC. When I switch back to the Windows 10 PC, then right-click on the desktop to Refresh, nothing happens to change the placement of the windows that were moved. For example, any Chrome sessions that were up on my secondary display prior to switching to another PC, when I return to the Windows PC, those Chrome windows are moved back to the primary display.
By monitor "priority" I assume you mean which display is primary? For Windows, it is:
Primary XB71HU: 2560 x 1440 @144Hz (GSYNC, no option for DDC/CI)
Secondary VE278Q: 1920 x 1080 @60Hz (DDC/CI is disabled)
For Mac, the "Primary" is the internal laptop display. But honestly, Mac OSX seems to be handling the situation pretty well upon further review. So we can ignore that for this discussion.
The reference to DDC/CI was because I read some some discussions elsewhere that suggested that disabling this feature on the monitor was a way to prevent the disconnect from being detected by connected devices entirely. The KVM could absolutely influence behavior too; I've been in touch with the support contacts for the device, and they simply pass the switch event through as a disconnect of the display (as if it were unplugged).
I understand that Quadro cards have some additional options in the Nvidia Control Panel that might help my situation:
This is what I'm really fishing for -- are there any low-level config settings that could be used to override how the RTX cards respond to a disconnected display?
Thanks!
