Use Multiplicity with a headless computer (or laptop with closed lid)

from Stardock Forums

Is it possible to set up Multiplicity to work with a "headless" PC or a laptop with a closed lid?  Obviously you can do this with a hardware KVM but I don't see a way to do that with Multplicity.  If you can, how do you  tell Multiplicity what the resolution of the monitor is so it can relay it back to the secondary computer?

Thanks for your response.  Neither of those threads described my issue but I found a simple solution.  I downloaded a virtual monitor driver (similar to what is used for USB monitors) and was able to create a virtual monitor of 5120x1440 that works perfectly with Multiplicity.
