[nv-l] Redirect ovw to virtual frame buffer

["Christopher J Petrina" <cjp8@meadwestvaco.com>]

Greetings all,

is it possible to redirect the ovw (native GUI) to the Virtual Frame Buffer.  I know that netviewd requires the vfb to run.  But is there a way to point the Native GUI to use the vfb.  We have no graphics card in the Netview server, so was curiouis if the vfb would be a way to keep a native GUI running.  The problem is when netviewd runs, and a native console is needed, we X windows into the server with the -dconsole to gain the admin of it. This Kills all web console sessions.  Once the administration is complete, kill the native GUI in the X windows and the web consoles again will have to be restarted when netviewd comes back online.  Would VFB help in this situation?

Thanks

Chris Petrina
