Still not solved, however I believe this is an Xorg symptom/feature? in
Ubuntu. By following this suggestion
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1851330&page=2 I can load the
nvidia driver and it thinks a screen 0 is attached, even though there is no
monitor connected:
1 Create an EDID file
2 modify /etc/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
...
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0"
Option "CustomEDID" "CRT-0:/etc/X11/crt-0.edid.bin"
3 $ sudo service restart lightdm
And the resulting /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks good (attached below).
Yet vglrun glxinfo still says no screen found. Anything else I can try?
Thanks
Shanon
