Hello,

Are you sure you have HDMI output in my "server" image? It uses a kernel which
has all graphics-related stuff disabled to free up the maximum possible amount
of memory. So I wouldn't expect HDMI to output anything with my image and the
"server" kernel it uses.

These also won't exist in it.

You can install a different kernel, but having graphics options compiled in
will enable memory reservations (which are static currently) and will cost
also you about 100 MB of RAM.

With respect,
