I've got a program which requires a 1280x768 32 bit display, but the computer on which it runs is ultimately going to be headless.

Why does resolution and depth matter on a headless computer? The program actually identifies and responds to certain changes that take place on the display device, but those changes happen to be immaterial to the user - just the responses matter.

Yes, there's a lot wrong. I'll take any way that will make this work ('working' requires that the entire display gets updated as expected - no strange black boxes), no matter how dirty. Tricks with remote desktop, fake drivers, injecting fake devices using win32, 'breaking' whatever monitor windows thinks is attached and forcing a screen resolution change. Whatever works.

  • I should add that the display driver is an Intel 855 Embedded. These system specs aren't going to change on the devices where this program will be installed. – crinklywrappr Jun 07 '11 at 15:31

It appears you can force a screen resolution change by using remote desktop.
