Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15
If I turn off the monitor, linux doesn't boot until I turn it on again. The machine is very hot, with the fan at top speed, so it should be in a busy wait. I've waited up to 5 minutes without any result.
The kernel boots adding this option to the boot line:
video=radeonfb:
But then, when I turn on the monitor it can work only at 640x480. I've to reboot the machine to get it working at higher resolutions.
The solution is for radeon chips but I have a Intel 950 GMA chip which will have some other setting or might not support this option. Have someone solved this problem?

I can confirm that this also happens with gutsy. My project kind of hinges on my ability to un this computer without a monitor, so I hope there's a fix.
