fedora won't boot without monitor

[maksudi]

Hi guys!

I have Fedora 10 on my machine. I'm having runlevel 5, so normally my gui starts automatically. Everything worked good. But when i try to boot without monitor plugged in, it freezes. The reason I'm doing this is I want to connect to my fedora machine via VPN (i'm thinking of using tightVNC). I need gui, cannot boot just in a text mode.

The stage it freezes is the following. Without monitor it actually shows me login screen but when i enter login and password (blindly but correct), wait a bit and then plug in monitor to see what's happening it shows something like text mode. I can type whatever i want on the screen. The only way after this is ctrl+alt+del.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

Typically, Linux needs some sort of console. It is possible to configure your system to use a serial port (dumb terminal) as an alternative console port, or you can connect your video output to a KVM switch which will provide it with the appropriate signals so it thinks there is a monitor attached. In any case, I think this would be true even if you boot into runlevel 3 (text-based login).

I just installed Fedora 11 and this problem is gone.
