We have a few Xserves that run headless, and when you remote into them the supported resolutions are 640×480 – 1024×768. Is there any way you can set it to something higher, without physically connecting a monitor? We need to run Instruments on one of them, and 1920×1200 would help a lot.

You need a great little gizmo called a gHead II. Dr. Bott used to sell them in the US but now they are only available in Germany. If you know someone in Germany that can send you some that’s what I recommend.

The gHead II is an adapter that attaches to video port on the Xserve. It tells the Xserve that there is a monitor attached that can display any resolution. It is/was a wonderful product.
