dawiinci Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I use one computer only through vnc. The problem is that it has no QE/CI if I don't have a display connected to the ATI card. Is there any way to avoid this and get acceleration?

So the machine you want to be headless needs to be putting out a signal to get the QE/CI on the other machine through the vnc, try a cheap KVM switch connected to it that may help as it will always be putting out a signal to that.

dawiinci Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks for the input. So there basically needs to be something connected. I don't want to buy a KVM Switch to try it but maybe there is a way to trick this either by software or by adding "something else" to the VGA, DVI or HDMI Port. However I don't just add some short circuits to the ports.
