I don't know if it's related but I have a cheap KVM that makes the
screen detection fail *only when I'm not toggled*  at the computer when
the screen detection occurs.

When I booted my computer my KVM was toggled to my other computer. That
has make Xorg use the wrong resolution (800x600). When I toggled back to
my Karmic computer I saw the resolution problem and I hit Alt-SysRq-K to
restart Xorg. Xorg restarted properly *and* the resolution OK (as it
normally is 1600x1200 or so).

After that I logged myself and while my session was loading, it froze
(no progression) for a few seconds and GDM login screen came back after.
I was then able to login properly even if the screen resolution was
again at 800x600.
