I was just looking at Xorg -configure. I might need to generate a xorg.conf and edit it perhaps.
That anachronism will make an obfuscatory mess of little use. Use this as a skeleton to build on instead:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf will take precendence over
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-screen.conf
When I'm using /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* instead of/etc/X11/xorg.conf, I use these as my synchronized baseline:
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/50-device.conf http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/50-monitor.conf http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/50-screen.conf
FWIW, all the above work using all the following (among others):
Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) Optiplex 280 Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Optiplex 620 Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Optiplex 745 Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10) Biostar G31-M7 TE Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Optiplex 760/780 & Biostar T41 HD Ver. 6.x -- This looks very useful. As I have had about 4 hours sleep I think I'm going to try to revisit this tomorrow.
As an interim measure I swapped drives out of the former system I was running. It has a Nvidia Card and an actual xorg.conf and it's again running Tumbleweed. The Windows 7 drive is back in a drawer.This system is on the same KVM. Never has failed to be there except for once after an Tumbleweed update. Some attention to Xorg.conf fixed that.
I can use that system until I get the pure Intel HP system to behave. I can't spring for a Nvidia Card right now. I need it to play with the onboard graphics. I'll probe it and see what actual chipset it's running and try a xorg.conf from your skeleton.
Steven -- Update. Nvidia Card arrived today and was installed in the dc 8500, The existing Tumblweed instal went sideway. Installing the card initiated some automagic BIOS activity. That led to the sideways behaviour. I mostly sorted that out. Instead of repairing or reinstalling Tumbleweed I swapped the drive out of the original working HP dc 8500. It played like had been there forever. No screen blanking when the KVM is used.
Thanks to all who helped me. The dc 8500 just has some hardware gremlins that reacted badly with my KVM setup. Steven -- ____________ Apply appropriate technology. Use what works without prejudice.
