<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt"><div>I am trying to set up a backend which will be monitorless and also without keyboard and mouse. I have MythBuntu 8.10 installed.<br><br>I am planning to use VNC to manage the backend. VNC works fine if I first boot the backend with a monitor attached.<br><br>Problem is that the backend will not start up completely without a monitor. In this state I can ping the backend and I can connect via Putty, but, Mythfrontend cannot connect to the backend and VNC server has not started.<br><br>When the the backend is started without a monitor and I then connect a monitor It looks like I am in an X window (newbie on Linux so hopefully that is the correct description) with warnings about no monitor and that resolution has been set to default, pushing Ok or cancel I get an error (from the monitor) that the
frequency is out of range. Only choice is to reboot with the monitor connected.<br><br>I expect there is some setting that I can set which tells system not to check for a monitor (and perhaps to set to last known good reolution/output). <br><br>I would appreciate any help.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Steve<br></div></div><br>
