This is the result of our testing of using Intel Xserve’s with Final Cut Pro:
Also, in my testing the final result of the Intel Xserve VGA boot is this:
-If you power it on without a monitor attached it will not open Final Cut.
-If you power it on with a monitor attached and remove it before opening Final Cut then it will not launch Final Cut.
-If you power it on with a monitor and open Final Cut then Final Cut will work until closed provided you leave the MiniVGA adapter plugged in. If you remove the MiniVGA adapter then Final Cut will crash.
-If you power it on with a monitor and open Final Cut, then remove the monitor and close Final Cut, Final Cut will not launch until it is rebooted without a monitor.
It comes down to whether the Quartz Extreme is initiated and/or running. Just an FYI on what I found in my testing of this.
