The Mac Mini doesn’t save this information in its BIOS (or equivalent), so you need to set it on each boot. I use my distribution’s /etc/rc.local file for this.

I had this happen when someone ran a script to kill x11vnc every so often, using kill -9 (don’t ask). Killing x11vnc with SIGTERM (15) allows it to clean up its shared memory segments. SIGKILL (9) will not. Googling around, I found a script over here (backup copy here). The problem with that was that […]
