Package: Xorg
Version: 1:7.3+20
Severity: wishlist

Hello Xorg team,

a blind friend of mine does not use any monitor. Until now he was able to
use he's previously installed Debian Gnu/Linux system, without screen
connected.
Since he changed the motherboard, the system was able to boot, but no longer
able to switch from x to console !
Solution: he bought a monitor and now it does works, but ... let me say this
is an expensive solution, isn't it ?
The solution: plese do urgently implement xorg to be able to boot without
any monitor connected:
- useful for blind users
- useful for people using PC's remotely as server.
BTW why does this had worked before ? is it a feature that was deleted
inside Xorg recently ?

Greetings,
Osvaldo.

It should now be possible to force an output/connector as connected in
xorg.conf, which would make X start up at 1024x768 on it (since xserver
1.9).  Closing as fixed.
