[NTLUG:Discuss] Ubuntu won't boot without monitor

[Michael Barnes]

I have an Ubuntu machine I'd like to relocate and leave headless.  I
would access as needed with VNC.  The problem is, every time it boots,
it tries to detect the monitor.  When it doesn't see one, it throws up
an error splash and anything I do puts it in lo resolution mode.

Any ideas on how to get around this?  I just want it to boot with the
same parameters it normally has and do its thing.  Once the error is
made, the only way to get it back to normal is to do a
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg".

I just want to disable the monitor detect function on boot up.

Thanks,
Michael
