degausing?

I have a machine at work that "freezes" a KVM switch.  Not sure why 
it does this.  It might be a similar issue.

Yes, caveat: Suns use composite sync so make sure the adaptor for the 
sparcs are setup to allow composite sync to the (likely) seperate 
syncs on the VGA monitor.   Is the IBM Sync on Green, Seperate Sync 
or Composite Sync?
