Setting up VDS for Minecraft.

[IERTOI]

Well I thought I found a solution but I cant access advanced settings in display properties.

Minecraft shouldn't be trying to use the graphics card at all, so something must be wrong with your Minecraft configuration. I'm hoping that another customer with experience running these on Windows will chime in, as I haven't done it myself.

Ahhh me two : (

what os do you use? do you use any mods or are you running the standard server from the site?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit (and I installed a GUI for it). My server is running with hMod (with like 4 plugins) and part of Llamas mod (to stop lava from starting fires).

Could you provide the exact command line that you're using to start the server?

I think he gave up.
What I use though is:
screen -fa -d -m -S minecraft java -server -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -Xnoclassgc -Xmx4608M -Xms4608M -jar Minecraft_Mod.jar

I'm running it in a screen session so that my auto backup script can send commands and messages to the people on the server letting them know its happening.
That parallelGCThreads one though, you know if I can change that to 6 since I have 6 cores? I've tried googleing it but I get conflicting answers.

You could try 6 if you'd like, but I don't think it would make too much of a difference. Better-parallelized garbage collection shouldn't significantly affect the main thread's performance.
