[ale] KVM or alternative

[Stephan Uphoff]

If you have a high end monitor and if you use a high
pixel rate your image might degrade if you route the
signal through a kvm.

With one of my video cards the signal would even reflect from
the kvm back to video card and back to the kvm causing a shadow.

Using the pixel offset of the shadow, the pixel clock and
the light speed value I could calculate the cable length
between video card and kvm.

Not really useful so I dismantled my physics project.
