Quick question and lots of Quick answers. Thanks to Sue, James, Charles, Tom
and Danielle. All of whom suggested I use either Xvfb or Xvnc. So I'll go
try to get Xvfb working as I'd prefer something that is delivered with the
OS rather than third party.

Also thanks to Charles for pointing out the the ridiculous requirement comes
from the JVM rather than Oracle. Still Oracle did choose the Java path.

Original Question:
Due to some ridiculous requirement of Oracle we need to have an x server
running on our server. Oracle apparently uses the fonts that the X server
provides. We do not have a graphics card in the machines, is there a way to
run the x server software on the machine without a card? We don't care about
seeing the output. Config Trucluster GS320's running 5.1A PK3.
