Abstract
Redirection of accesses to non-existent memory is instead sent to a virtual buffer. The virtual buffer may be implemented in headless systems which include no video buffer. Console redirection may use the virtual buffer to display information about the headless system. Accesses to the non-existent video hardware, either directly or using the BIOS API, are redirected to the virtual buffer before being retrieved by a remote console. The headless system is cheaper and may support additional add-in cards because the system includes no video controller.
