I wonder if the UltraVNC Video driver would work? I haven't tried it myself but it seems like it should work.
You could try push installing UltraVNC and the video driver remotely over the network using VNCScan to see if it will work. You can get VNCScan at http://www.vncscan.com Here are the steps to remotely deploy UltraVNC with the video card driver installed: 1. Right-click the default group that is automatically created when you first run VNCScan and then choose to add a new computer 2. Type in the address of the computer that is headless 3. Chose OK to save the computer 4. Back in the list, right-click the new computer and choose 'General tools' and then 'Deploy VNC' 5. In the wizard, create a new profile that deploys Ultra and hit next. 6. You can either accept all of the defaults in the wizard or modify settings as you 'Next' through the wizard to the last page 7. On the last page, put in an Administrator user/pass that is valid on the remote computer so that the deployment wizard has admin access to the c$ share 8. Press Finish and let it deploy Thanks, Steve Bostedor -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aredor Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 2:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Control a PC without graphic card? Hi, I've searched and found an similar topic in "headless PC..." but it didn't lead me to a solution, so I hope you can help. My reason for using VNC is that my graphic card isn't working right now and I want to control it via VNC from my laptop. The problem here is that all I get is a black screen (or window if I don't use fullscreen) as soon as I'm connected. I can control the PC "blindly", i.e. it does react to every input, I'm just don't see anything besides the mouse pointer's position... Controlling another PC (which has a working GPU) works fine, so my question is: Can I somehow make VNC run properly or do I need a GPU? Thanks a lot, Aredor _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
