Alternatively if you can force the "safe" mode as I did (sounds like the KVM does not connect the data lines for EDID) you could experiment with forcing X to use a different mode by editing xorg.conf and I think there is something in the archive on this list for doing that with Ubuntu.
Note that the screenshot was when bypassing the KVM, but I agree that getting bad EDID sounds like the cause.
Where is xorg.cong in Ubuntu 9.10? There doesn't seem to be one in /etc/X11
