[vox-tech] Linux Mint 17 without monitor

[Darth Borehd]

I am using a standard Linux Mint 17.2 computer as a Minecraft server
(amongst other things).

I have it set to auto-login to the desktop and launch the script.  I also
have desktop sharing turned on so I can control it via VNC.

A curious thing I found is that if the monitor is not plugged in, the X
server will not start.  Because the desktop does not load, the Minecraft
script does not start and I cannot control it via VNC.

I previously had an old version of Ubuntu on the box before upgrading and I
did not have this problem.

Any ideas how to get around this problem?  I want it to just sit on the
shelf and not have a monitor attached.
