force HDMI output for VNC - dontpostalot - 11-21-2017

Hi

On the Pine64 to get x11vnc going I used to add the following to /boot/config.txt:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=16

I've looked at creating an xorg.conf file but the configure fails since I don't have a screen connected atm...


So how to force hdmi output on the Rock (Debian image)?

Not sure why exactly but a "sudo apt-get install xscreensaver" seems to have solved this, x11vnc is now stable on a headless Rock.
