Sorry if my english isn't perfect but i'm italian....

I've configured xorg to use the official nvidia official driver, and at his
moment the latest... All work fine, nice resolution and frame, but if i boot
the pc without monitor the X boot freeze... I think because Nvidia drive try
to communicates with the monitor but i don't want why and i don't need it...
Becouse this pc is used only to share dsl in my house, so if i change the
voice -->Driver "nvidia"<-- to -->Driver "nv"<-- ( or vesa ) Xorg
boot without the monitor...

Now, i think i can use the pc also as a divx/xvid player, because the
graphic card have a tv-out connector.... but it can be used only with nvidia
driver... =(

I read on the txt released with the driver about these option:

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP,TV"

But seems don't work with my conf....

here is my xorg.conf [url]http://di3s3l.no-ip.org/xorg.conf[/url]

nb: i'm sure the problem is only when i boot the pc without monitor...
The vnc modules or other settings don't matter with this problem =P

Thanks for any kind of help
