Ok, sorry ... my previous email was wrong.  I did some more testing.

As soon as I use

	NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute	attributes[] = {
		kCGLPFARemotePBuffer,
				NSOpenGLPFAPixelBuffer,
//				NSOpenGLPFANoRecovery,
				NSOpenGLPFAAccelerated,
//				NSOpenGLPFADepthSize, 24,
//				NSOpenGLPFADepthSize, 128,
//				NSOpenGLPFAColorFloat,
//				NSOpenGLPFAColorSize, 128,
//				NSOpenGLPFASamples, 1,
		(NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute) 0
	};

Try different combinations of attributes like only kCGLPFARemotePBuffer and NSOpenGLPFAAccelerated.

Here is the code snippet:

- (id) initWithCompositionPath:(NSString*)path pixelsWide: (unsigned)width pixelsHigh:(unsigned)height
{
NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute attributes[] = {
kCGLPFARemotePBuffer,
NSOpenGLPFAPixelBuffer,
NSOpenGLPFANoRecovery,
NSOpenGLPFAAccelerated,
NSOpenGLPFADepthSize, 24,
NSOpenGLPFASamples, 1,
(NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute) 0
};
NSOpenGLPixelFormat* format = [[[NSOpenGLPixelFormat alloc] initWithAttributes:attributes] autorelease];

//Check parameters - Rendering at sizes smaller than 16x16 will likely produce garbage
if(![path length] || (width < 16) || (height < 16)) {
[self release];
return nil;
}

if(self = [super init]) {
//Create the OpenGL pixel buffer to render into
_pixelBuffer = [[NSOpenGLPixelBuffer alloc] initWithTextureTarget:GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_EXT textureInternalFormat:GL_RGBA textureMaxMipMapLevel:0 pixelsWide:width pixelsHigh:height];
if(_pixelBuffer == nil) {
NSLog(@"Cannot create OpenGL pixel buffer");
[self release];
return nil;
}

//Create the OpenGL context to render with (with color and depth buffers)
_openGLContext = [[NSOpenGLContext alloc] initWithFormat:format shareContext:nil];
if(_openGLContext == nil) {
NSLog(@"Cannot create OpenGL context");
[self release];
return nil;
}

Hi Pierre-Olivier,

I am running as root and I added the RemotePBuffer attribute to my Pixelformat.

If I have a monitor connected everything is running fine.
Then I unplug the monitor and reboot the machine. After that I get:

2007-02-22 10:02:56.823 ImageService[187] invalid pixel format
2007-02-22 10:02:56.823 ImageService[187] invalid context
2007-02-22 10:02:56.823 ImageService[187] Cannot create OpenGL context

So the RemotePBuffer attribute didn't seem to help. It looks like I have to find a way to make the hardware think there is a monitor connected. Maybe this works:

What are the exact list of attributes you use when creating the OpenGL context?
