Hi there!

xbmclive 9.10
xorg 1.6.4

When I have the monitor off, xbmc boots just "halfways". Samba shares, webserver and upnp is not firing up, ssh is ok. It seems to be xorg that halts the startup when it doesn't find a monitor. When I turn the monitor on, it seems like the startup continues and all is well. I would like to have all systems on even when the monitor is off.

Is the issiue with xorg or in startupscripts? Any suggestions?

Are you using DVI? Some video cards (it's a bug) will not boot unless they can get the EDID from the display. My old Nvidia 8500 did that.

Yes, I'm using DVI>HDMI.

Graphics:
@XBMCLive:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04)

If you plug your DVI into this it will fix the problem.

OK. That seems to be a nifty solution.

There is not a way to make xorg stop probing for a monitor and just go to xorg.conf for settings?

I don't think it a an xorg thing, I think it is the video card itself.
