Removing xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf did not work on my
Intel NUC which is being used as a headless server. As it is a headless
machine I control it from my PC using Remmina (VNC). The NUC does not
have a monitor connected to it. When the NUC boots it searches for a
monitor. If it can't find one it won't activate video. If so, Remmina
VNC results in showing a black screen. In order to be able to see the
NUC's desktop I need to "trick" it during boot into believing that a
monitor is connected. This is done through 20-intel.conf. Its contents
forces the NUC to believe that displays are connected:
Section "Device"
Identifier "intelgpu0"
Driver "intel"
Option "VirtualHeads" "2"
EndSection
Therefore, removing xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf resulted in that
I could not see the NUC's desktop anymore via Remmina.
As an experiment I connected a monitor to the NUC's HDMI port. In this case the
artifacts are gone.
I plan to try one alternative solution: plug a HDMI dummy adapter into the
NUC's HDMI port. Then I might not need the mentioned code in 20-intel.conf any
more. Then remove xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf, hoping that I can
connect via Remmina.
