<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I recently upgraded my MBE/FE
combo to Fedora 15 and am having problems running it headless. While it
normally lives in my garage, I have the mythtv account autologin and gain
access to the FE and desktop through VNC not to run video but to do
various housekeeping tasks on the GUI. I have tried various xorg.conf
configurations andeither X will not load because it cannot find the right
edid or when I can get X and Gnome to load and mythtv auto logs in, I get
an error on the mythtv desktop that states "could not apply the
stored configuration for monitors", "none of the selected modes
were compatible with possible modes: CRTC 354: Trying mode..." and
then a bunch of resolutions in the 50 to 57 Mhz range. The error messages
interferes with my launching and running mythfrontend on the Gnome
desktop. Listed below is my most recent /etc/X11/xorg.conf attempt with
some of the last lines of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Any ideas would be most
appreciated.<br><br>

Always entertaining to see how far afield the thread can go from my
original question. However, I was able to solve the mystery of running a
Fedora 15 server without a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, that booted X
and the Gnome GUI, autolog'ed into the mythtv userid, and presented a
clean desktop accessible to a TightVNC client running over putty/ssh on
Windows 7. <br><br>
1. Used the following in the Device section of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf<br><br>
<dl>
<dd>Section "Device"
<dd> Identifier
"Device0"
<dd>
Driver "nvidia"
<dd>
Option
"UseEDID" "FALSE"
<dd>
Option "UseDisplayDevice"
"CRT-1"
<dd>
Option "ConnectedMonitor"
"CRT-1"
<dd>
Option "IgnoreEDID"
"TRUE"
<dd>
Option "UseEDIDFreqs"
"FALSE"
<dd>
Option "UseEDIDDPi"
"FALSE"
<dd>
Option "ModeValidation"
"NoEdidModes"
<dd> VendorName
"NVIDIA Corporation"
<dd>EndSection<br><br>
</dl>2. Changed the name of the following file in the autolog'ed in user
area (in my case /home/mythtv)<br><br>
<dl>
<dd># mv ~/.config/monitors.xml ~/.config/monitors.xml-original<br><br>
</dl>3. Used the Gnome account settings feature to autologin on boot to
my specified userid. <br><br>
Hope helps others with the same issue. <br><br>
