I upgraded my server from Fedora Core 6 to Fedora 8. This is just a file/media/http/vnc/ssh server. I administer it purely remotely and do not have (or ever had) a keyboard, monitor, or mouse connected locally, nor do I really have room for any of that.
Problem is that when I boot X is giving me an error that it couldn't properly initialize a video device...and this is halting my other services from launching.
Under Fedora Core 6 this worked without any work-araounds, however this new distribution seems to have some issues with not having a monitor.
A colleague of mine mentioned a VGA adapter that mimics as a monitor that you plug into the VGA port, but I don't want to do that if it's not necesary.
