When without a monitor, this system still has to be able to run X. I am using xorg Intel driver 2.17 and a 2.6.33 modesetting kernel (and, if possible, I'd like to not upgrade the kernel). Running without a monitor, when I specify a monitor and timings in an X configuration file, the driver tends to crash sometime after X's VidModeGetFirstModeline and VidModeGetNumOfModes calls. I've tried setting "DDC" to false in the configuration file, but this seems to be ignored by the driver judging from the X log (as well as IgnoreEDID). I have also tried VESA and nomodeset, which had stability issues when switching between terminals and back to X. Has anybody successfully run a headless configuration with these drivers? Thanks for your help! Louis Gorenfeld Muse Research
