Xserver without graphical card & monitor

Hi,

I've got a HP-UX, without graphical card and monitor; i'd like running xserver (needed for my application !) on it
When i run "x11start", it crash:

_______________________________________________

# x11start

X server: Error in /etc/X11/X0screens (line 612)
Device name invalid or missing after keyword "Screen".
X server: Will try default "/dev/crt"
Failure to open default device file `/dev/crt`.
Please either specify the proper device filename in
your /etc/X11/X0screens file or fix `/dev/crt`. This filename is either
non-existent or is not a character special file.

Fatal server error:

_______________________________________________


So, must i change /etc/X11/X0screens file ?!


Thanks

Re: Xserver without graphical card & monitor

It can be done... You need to use a psuedo graphics device. xf86 can do it. There are other forummers who can explain how to do this much better, but at least I can give you some hope...

Or run a virtual X server such as "vnc". This will give you an Xserver that doesn't need a screen
Never preceed any demonstration with anything more predictive than "watch this"
