I'd agree with statements about having really poor luck.  The
2-position "turn a switch" A/B video switchboxes show up on
eBay for ~$10.00 sometimes, or less at the ComputerPro shows
around here.  They're okay for text-mode stuff but crap for
higher-bandwidth video.

If you're willing to throw $50 (incl. S/H) at a solution, check out

for a 2-position KVM with cables--and it lists a video bandwidth
and max resolution that make it more suitable for use with
decent graphics outputs.  I almost bid on this just to have another
decent KVM around--I know you said you don't really need a KVM,
but for the money this seems like a Good Deal.
