I'm not the right person to answer this, but I do recall an issue with
DVI negotiation. AIUI, if the graphics card isn't connected to get a
response, it defaults to something that might not be suitable for
running tests (i.e. you get a basic VGA resolution instead of
1920x1080). I believe all of our systems are connected to KVMs [1].
