Hi Eric and all,

I guess we need to get that implemented into the server itself.
Because contacting all the distros might be to difficult. that might be a workaround but i think we need to get that fixed.

Greetings,
Simon

Hi all,

I am a blind person from austria.
I am using the computer often without a screen.
I figured out on many distros there are issues with the desktop
without
a screen.
Seems the desktop isn't coming up when no screen is connected?
I read in the arch wiki that this is caused by the screen auto config
function of the server.
can that be worked around?
I wanted to install a system on a machine but the live dvd seems not
to
come up because of this.
Is there something i can specify at boot? for example some parameters
i
can enter at the boot menu?


For people using no screen this is pretty frustrating.

greetings and thanks for helping,
Simon

As a somewhat amature user of X, I spent some time last night looking
at info on this.  I think you want a 'headless' setup.  Although in
your case I am not sure this is appropriate.  Often people will login
to a machine like this over the internet via ssh.  So you need another
computer to login to the 'headless' one.

What I found is that you probably have to modify xorg.conf or 10
-monitor.conf in the /etc/X11/ and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directories
respectively.  This does not seem like a good soultion, particularly in
the case of a liveDVD.

I think the best solution would be to email a maintainer of the liveDVD
or support for the distribution that your trying to use, whether it be
 forum, mailing list, or irc(chat).



Have a good day,
