running Minecraft on supermicro mobo

[patrick sullivan]

I have a server PC that I want to install Minecraft on and have it mine 24/7, since this PC is running anyway. I installed Minecraft, but I don't think I understand the graphics requirements. I access this PC via remote desktop. If I install a small Nvidia graphics card, will that fix this issue, even though I will not be accessing the game with any monitor, only remote desktop? (Zotac Geforce GT 710) Here is the system info and the error I am receiving.

Minecraft requirements:

• •CPU: Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz.
• •RAM: 2GB.
• •GPU (Integrated): Intel HD Graphics or AMD (formerly ATI) Radeon HD Graphics with OpenGL 2.1.
• •GPU (Discrete): Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT or AMD Radeon HD 2400 with OpenGL 3.1.
• •HDD: At least 200MB for Game Core and Other Files.
• •Java 6 Release 45

This might be helpful - one can run the minecraft server headless...

If I remember right I had to replace the old Matrox video in some of my old server motherboards by adding a small video card. I am not sure how you are using a 3840x2160@32Hz video monitor with an old Matrox video built on the motherboard. At some point Microsoft servers had to be able to do SuperVGA and my old Matrox video was only VGA. I think there was a setting in bios to use an addon video card. I ran my servers at home in a rack with a video switcher.

@coxhaus - yeah, recall something like that for a different use case - where code would look for an actual display...

Not sure if they're still offered out there - but there was a dongle/plug one would put on the VGA port that would present to the video card a pseudo-SGVA monitor was attached.

That's the monitor via remote desktop. Thanks guys for the information! Appreciate it. I ordered an inexpensive nvidia off ebay.
