there is a company that sells a PCI card to enable PC's to run 'headless'
heres the link :
http://www.realweasel.com/
--From Linux Buyers Guide:
"The PC Weasel PCI provides a serial console for PC based servers, and allows these machines
to run headless, as the card emulates all video and keyboard behaviour. The device requires
no drivers or software, and is O/S independent. The PC Weasel PCI gives you remote access
to the BIOS (including POST codes) and permits the user to administer a "hard" reset to the
system remotely."

get_gfx_mode_type
get_gfx_mode_type(3alleg4) Allegro manual get_gfx_mode_type(3alleg4)
NAME
get_gfx_mode_type - Retrieves type information for a specific graphics card. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int get_gfx_mode_type(int graphics_card);
DESCRIPTION
This function lets you determine the types of operating modes that a specific graphics card driver operates in. It will tell you whether it
is a windowed, fullscreen, definitely windowed or fullscreen, and/or a magic driver.
The value returned is a bitfield consisting of these fields:
GFX_TYPE_UNKNOWN GFX_TYPE_WINDOWED GFX_TYPE_FULLSCREEN GFX_TYPE_DEFINITE GFX_TYPE_MAGIC
The return value will only be equivalent to GFX_TYPE_UNKNOWN when it is a driver unrecognized on that platform, or it is a bogus value.
Test for the other types by using a bitwise AND. If the driver is windowed or fullscreen, it will also have the definite flag set. For
example,
int gfx_type = get_gfx_mode_type(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED);
gfx_type would have the GFX_TYPE_WINDOWED, GFX_TYPE_DEFINITE, and GFX_TYPE_MAGIC flags set.
Allegro needs to be initialized first.
Example:
/* Accept the use of only windowed drivers in our selection dialog */
int accept_windowed(int card , int w , int h , int color_depth)
{
if (get_gfx_mode_type(card) & GFX_TYPE_WINDOWED)
return 0;
return 1;
}
/* In main: */
gfx_mode_select_filter(&card, &w, &h, &color_depth, accept_windowed);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a bitfield describing the graphics mode type.
