I'm trying to get my Ubuntu box to run at a higher resolution than the default 1024x768. As you can see from the log, i'm using integrated Intel video drivers.
I've tried adding an xorg.conf with a dummy monitor but I still get the default resolution.
I've also tried specifying the geometry in the x11vnc.service.
Then I added a custom dummy monitor config, as below.
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "Enable" "true"
Option "DPMS" "false"
DisplaySize 400 300
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080" "1600x1200" "1280x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
