Are double jogger strollers allowed inside airport terminals?

I have been told that if a stroller doesn’t fold up to fit on the metal-detector belt and through past the monitor, it is not allowed. Is this true?

How do I get Ubuntu to work with my KVM switch properly?

I recently installed a Belkin Omni-Cube F1D092 KVM switch so that I could use both my Windows 7 computer and my Ubuntu Linux computer using the same Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor. Upon installing the KVM switch Ubuntu stopped detecting my monitor and throws me at a command prompt.

The actual error says something along the lines of:
Screens Found, but no working modes detected.

I have searched Google and the Ubuntu forums for the answer and have yet to find one. I am currently using a Back Track 3 live cd with the computer (so that it is not a wasted hunk of metal) and when I use the Back Track 3 cd X loads up fine.

So does anyone know what it is that makes Back Track 3 manage to load X when Ubuntu can’t? And if so how to transfer that over to make Ubuntu correctly load X? Or even how to fix the problem in Ubuntu so that X will run again.

My computer:
Running Xubuntu 9.10
Using Belkin Omni-Cube F1D092
Using Generic Monitor (Supporting Resolution of 1280×1024)
Computer is a Compaq Presario PC Model SR5030NX
I am sure that the KVM switch will work with Linux, because it works fine when I am using my Back Track 3 Live CD distro of Linux.
