Hi there,
is it possible to start a patch automatically on boot up containing both an
audio and GEM patch either with or without a screen?
I got a patch that contains some kind of gui working with GEM while the main
audio patch doensn't need any graphics. All editing can be handled with a
LCD remote unit.
With the monitor connected everything works as expected. The problem is that
Ubuntu (10.04) won't boot without any screen connected.
I tried not to start X and fluxbox and go directly to the Pd patches. That
didn't work!
It still only boots (in text mode) with the monitor connected.
Is there any way to detect if a monitor is hooked up and connect to some
kind of a "virtual monitor" if not?
Could VNC be used for that? (Though I don't really need or want a remote
desktop)
Thanx for any hints,
Ingo
