Hi All,

I am trying desperately to find a working X config that would allow me
to leverage the intel driver without a monitor being plugged in
(Headless). We need to do some opengl rendering which are later saved
on the disk as images and the jobs are executed on servers which by
nature are headless.

For reference, the server has an intel HD 2000 IGPU and I am using
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the latest intel driver (2.19.0).
I have tried everything I could think of without success.
Always end up with:

[3661641.967] (EE) No devices detected.
[3661641.967] Fatal server error: no screens found

I used to have an nvidia card and their driver had an option to bypass
any probing of the monitor in the case of headless usage. Ati has
something similar as well. From the list of options for the intel
driver, it does not look like it actually exist or it's not documented.

As anyone been able to run the intel driver without any monitor ?
I have attached both my xorg conf and the associated xorg.log

Thanks in advance for your help !

This implies that it wasn't able to detect the Intel GPU at all. Can you
please attach your dmesg and lspci? You may need to tweak your BIOS in
case it is hiding the iGPU.

Well, no, the intel driver didn't bind because the OP booted into a
configuration that can't possibly work:

> [3661641.851] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-3.2.13-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 root=/dev/md1 ro text nomodeset

'nomodeset' -> no kms -> no intel driver.

Once you've fixed that, if things still don't work, refer to the static
multihead configuration guide here:

http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html

and just pick an output to enable; or, force it one on the kernel
command line by saying "video=VGA-1:e" to force it to be considered
"enabled".
