OK. I know there are posts out there on this. I've seen every single one of them. But I'm still stuck. But I think I'm close.
13.10 64 bit client, nvidia, x11vnc.
I followed the steps here, while connected to a legit monitor to create an EDID.bin and all the rest.
I can boot up the machine with no monitor attached, connect with a VNC client, and see the logon screen in all of its glory. When I log in, I get a black screen with an 'X' cursor. I do actually get legitimate graphics though. I get a popup window like this: Screen Shot 2014-02-27 at 8.18.11 PM.jpg This makes me think it's *kind of* working.
Whether I click 'Cancel' or 'Report problem...' the result is the same: Nothing. Just the black screen with the X cursor.
Here is my xorg.conf:
Here are the contents of /etc/init/x11vnc.conf:Code:# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 319.60 (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-09) Wed Sep 25 15:12:13 PDT 2013 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "Files" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 Option "DPMS" Modeline "1920x1080R" 138.50 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088 1111 +hsync -vsync EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0" Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin" Option "IgnoreEDID" "false" Option "UseEDID" "true" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "NoLogo" "True" Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
Unfortunately I don't know enough to tinker with much in here to make it work, but this is driving me crazy! Everything works as expected if I leave the monitor plugged into the computer at boot time. But this machine is down in the basement! I never need to go sit at it; I always SSH or VNC in to do anything.Code:start on login-session-start script /usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -forever -bg -rfbport 5900 -o /var/log/x11vnc.log end script
Please help!!!
