Evidently if the GPU client is already running, you don't need a monitor hooked up to that card. I found this out today when I moved my VGA cable from my desktop to my dinky little Atom server because I needed to format a hard drive in it and I was too lazy to shut down my desktop's GPU client etc, so I just unplugged the monitor and put it in my Atom. It's been like this now for about 12 hours and my GPU is still steady churning out work units. Therefore you can probably just plug a monitor in there temporarily just to get the work unit goin, and then just unplug the monitor and just forget it? It seems to be working great for me.
I'll be putting the monitor back in eventually but just thought I'd share that experience. I didn't think it'd keep folding (at least after one work unit got done). It's done about 7 work units now like that.
