Don't do this on a serverI tried out a big monitor on my Jaguar server, then returned it, leaving the server headless. I figured I'd just put the old one back when I upgraded over the weekend.
Not so fast! If you plug in a monitor that doesn't support the current resolution setting, it won't monitor anything - it's like, totally black. You need to reboot in this case to reset the video card. I should have set the resolution lower before removing the big monitor.
Fortunately there's only one person working today, so rebooting our primary file server isn't a big deal. I'll also need to zap the pram (command+option+p+r while booting) to flush the previous setting.
If I had done this during the week, it would have really sucked :)
