I have my minipc server Gigabite Brix 4105 and the monitor is not connected to it. Installed Ubuntu Desktop 12.04.2. I control it from my PC using VNC and no visual artifacts.
This is done through 20-intel.conf Section "Device" Identifier "intelgpu0" Driver "intel" Option "VirtualHeads" "1" Option "TearFree" "true" Option "TripleBuffer" "true" Option "DRI" "false" EndSection I added the following commands to my startup script: xrandr --newmode "1920x1080" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VIRTUAL1 1920x1080 xrandr --output VIRTUAL1 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of HDMI1 xrandr -d :0 --output VIRTUAL1 --primary --auto Generate modeline with gtf or cvt (Replace 1920 1080 with your preferred resolution).
