Previously I had Ubuntu 11.04 and I could boot with no monitor attached.

Now I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 with autologin and I've found that is incapable of booting correctly if the monitor isn't attached.

Is there a way to "force" Ubuntu to "remember" last monitor attached or to define a virtual one to allow a "normal" booting?

You need to do this :

go to directory :

cd /etc/X11/

cp xorg.conf xorg.bak

sudo gedit xorg.conf

Look for this section "Device" in the file, and update the file to be like this :

Section "Device"
     Identifier "Configured Device"
     Driver "vesa"
EndSection

If you dont find this section then put it at the top of the file.

Try to keep the complete file consistent.
