XServe with no video but services and SSH still work. Help!
I have 2 XServes that have this issue. I think they are both XServe 1,1s. One of them is running Tiger Server (10.4.11), and one is on Snow Leopard Server (10.6.7). After being left on for awhile (sometimes a few hours, sometimes a few days) they will not display video, either locally with a physical monitor or through screen sharing. It comes back up only if the server is physically rebooted, and the screen will come up and work fine for some time, then stop working again. To be more specific, the local monitor will remain in standby mode no matter what, and the Screen Sharing session will authenticate (it allows me to put in the user name and password, and will tell me if I'm using an incorrect password and not go forward), and after authentication is successful, nothing comes up; not even a black screen or anything. SSH and all other services are still working, and aside from not seeing anything on the screen all else appears to be ok. What's going on with my servers?
