Re: [orca-list] System not completely booting because of no screen connected?

[Richard <rickfunes yahoo com>]

HI Simon,

I've seen something similar. I have a 64 bit desktop with a SAPPHIRE 
Radeon HD 5570 videocard. In my case, I can confirm that the system does 
not boot up at all if there's no monitor connected. It doesn't have to 
be on, but there needs to be a monitor or something that will trick the 
kernel into booting in the VGA port. What videocard is in your desktop?
