As a somewhat amature user of X, I spent some time last night looking at info on this. I think you want a 'headless' setup. Although in your case I am not sure this is appropriate. Often people will login to a machine like this over the internet via ssh. So you need another computer to login to the 'headless' one. What I found is that you probably have to modify xorg.conf or 10 -monitor.conf in the /etc/X11/ and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directories respectively. This does not seem like a good soultion, particularly in the case of a liveDVD. I think the best solution would be to email a maintainer of the liveDVD or support for the distribution that your trying to use, whether it be forum, mailing list, or irc(chat). Have a good day, eg _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
