Because they're slow. By the time the DVI monitor comes on, Windows already assumes the second monitor doesn't exist so it moves everything from the VGA display to the DVI display.

It sounds weird that Windows would un-detect the display because the DVI one exists. I've never experienced that kind of behavior but, I also haven't used VGA on Windows in a long time. It has been at least 8 or 9 years. Any reason why you're still rocking a really old display? I've upgraded displays at least 3 times since I had a VGA display.

See many edits. :p

Short answer: KVM.

Long answer: I erased about 250 Dell OptiPlex's that only had VGA out in the past two years (approximately). The KVM made that possible. I'm not about to give it up.

All of my current systems/displays are DVI centric. I'm still using the same Samsung monitors (DVI+VGA) I bought back in 2009ish. Why? Because they both still perform very well. The bigger of the two is 1920x1200 and my workspace really can't handle anything bigger than 24".

I think the crux of the problem is that VGA is not a plug n play standard where DisplayPort is. DisplayPort breaks the link where if the monitor is plugged directly into VGA, the link is never broken (it still sends a signal even if the KVM is switched to another system.

I was getting some severe graphics problems on 15.7.1 so I decided to try updating to Crimson 15.11.1 and so far so good. It's working with R9 270 + HD 5670.

They are working here, no monitor sync issues like the Catalyst drivers...

15.7.1 broke my system so i had to go back to 15.7, after 15.11 came out I moved to those then grabbed 15.11.1 beta. Seem good to me.
