Hopefully the subject said it all.

I am looking for a KVM box that will support the following video output
scenario:

1 system with a VGA monitor

1 system with a dual DVI monitor

I'm guessing the dual DVI monitor may mean that a KVM switch may not be
in my immediate future:-)

You can use a KVM in this situation, if you bypass the monitor switching
and directly connect the video to each computer. This assumes that your LCD
monitor has both a VGA and a DVI output (which many do). That will let you
switch keyboard and mouse with the KVM. Then you have he monitor switch to
the other mode. My LCD has a button on the front that let's forces the
monitor to auto detect the connection and it will switch from VGA to DVI
this way. It means pushing two buttons, but it does work.
