Title: Dummy plugs in XP? Post by: enmaku on June 07, 2011, 06:29:47 AM So I threw together a rig, mostly from parts I already had, and went with Windows XP since I'd seen in a few places that XP doesn't require dummy plugs to run headless or see cards that aren't plugged into monitors but OpenCL still appears to identify only the card I've got a monitor on. Have I been steered wrong? Does XP really require dummy plugs too or have I just missed a step somewhere?

Am I going to be stuck running to Radio Shack tomorrow?
