here's my setup:

LC475, 8mb RAM, no monitor, running as a FileMaker Pro Server and using
Timbuktu Pro 1.0

problem 1 - if you reboot the server without a monitor connected and then
login with Timbuktu the window on my screen is a 9" black&white
representation of what's on the Server

problem 2 - when you open or close a window a "ghost" is left of the old
window (maybe the video RAM isn't being refreshed adequately?)

problem 3 - Guest Access with Control Privilige enabled becomes available !!

none of these Timbuktu problems occur if there is a monitor connected to
the server - only if it's a "headless server"

I guess the screen is b&w and 9" as there is no monitor connected so the
video sense pins default to 9" b&w (yes? maybe?). I can live with that.
The video refresh and security problem of Guest access being turned on I
don't like!

does anyone have any ideas or solutions?? If you do please email to me and
I'll send a response summary back to the newgroups.


thanks heaps
Michael
