Hi,
I have the following problem. I'm trying to run a parallel visualization program (paraview) on a cluster. This means the program is running on all nodes on the cluster. On each node, the program attempts to connect to the local X server to do local rendering.
Now, except for my head node, none of the other cluster nodes have mouse, keyboard or monitor connected to them. This seems to have the effect, that X is never started on these nodes. As a result, when the rendering program tries to connect to it, it fails.
I include here the final section of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on my monitorless cluster nodes:
Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.6.1.901-1.fc11

Not being sure how to solve this, my first guess would be that I have to make sure X is started regardless of the missing monitor etc.
How can I do that ?
Linear Mode
