Public bug reported:

Trying to boot mythbuntu 10.04 without monitor connected does not work.
I never get a ping reply.  When I connect my monitor after booting,
there is no signal being sent to it.  If I leave my monitor connected
while booting, everything boots normally and I can remove my monitor and
it continues to work properly.

Fedora 12 had same issue, I was able to aleviate this by entering
vga=xxx in the kernel parameters.  However, with grub2 I am unable to
see how to do this.  I did find this entry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg: "set
gfxmode=640x480", but this does not appear to do the same thing.
