[mythtv-users] How can I get my monitorless backend to start up

[Steve V]

>I run a monitorless combined front/backend. Actually there is a tv attached via a home made vga to rgbhv converter cable but as far as the video card is concerned, >nothing is attached. Attached below is my xorg.conf which runs my custom modeline but you could easily modify it to use your supported modes quite easily.

Thanks William, looks like I need to study up on Xorg.conf settings, my settings are currently as below. 


Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
