Does the KVM do DVI-A or only DVI-D?

I have one that's the opposite, goes from DVI-D to VGA. It works but every now and then the screen would go blank for about a half second or so. Kinda annoying but livable.

Yes bits one or the other I can't run analog and digital at the same time, either all analog or all digital

You may try to connect the monitor to the KVM via DVI-I/A to VGA adapter, then the KVM will work in analog mode even with modern cards, not only with Voodoo.
But why your KVM does not working with any kinds of input signals? Probably it is a simple "switchboard" which simply changes electrical connection between the output and inputs throught a large mechanical switch or a set of simple singal switching ICs (at least, low-cost KVMs are made so).

If using of analog signal is strongly impossible at all, you may search for VGA to HDMI converter, then a HDMI to DVI-D converter. And this, as it is called in Russia, kolkhoz (something made in countryside from crutches and shit because there are no other ways to get the device working) should work with any only-DVI-D device, including the KVM. But it will be a large thing, requiring external power and might have issues with non-HDMI-compatible resolutions like 640x480 or text mode. Reconfiguring all devices to analog mode will be a better way to get all working.

The KVM output either does digital or analog, and my GTX 1060 doesn't support an anolog output at all, so I can't use a DVI-VGA on the output to monitor or I get no signal.

Get an active VGA to DVI-D adapter (vga input to DVI-D output). Most of the adapters go the other way so it took a while to find.

Probably going to be the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

I use an active VGA to HDMI adapter with my Voodoo3. It works great with Win98 games. It doesn't introduce any lag, and even allows Win98 to output a remarkably clean 1920x1080 desktop resolution. All of the typical 4:3 resolutions--I tested 640x480 to 1280x1024--work fine, too.

The downside: it has trouble with DOS games. It steps 70Hz games down to 60, causing them to judder quite badly. Most other DOS games just cause it to output pure garbage, sometimes bad enough to lock up the monitor!

I don't know if your space is ok for that, but a two monitor setup can help. This is what I do actually. The main monitor is for the daily modern rig only, and the other monitor is both for the main rig (as the secondary) and for the other computers via KVM.

How about using KVM and your monitor's own input selection function together? This was what I was doing before upgrading from a 2port KVM to 4 port KVM and had three computers to ride. Requires a multiple input monitor but...which isn't? 🤣

I already do that it's just annoying 🤣

I admit, yes it was 😊

I know this is an old thread, but could you tell us what adapter in particular you were using? I'm in the market for a similar reason and if some one has one that already works well I might as well start there. Thanks.
