Nebylo by mozne pouzit xfree86_vfb server?
Citace z manualove stranky k tomuto serveru:

   Xvfb is an X server that can run on machines with no display hardware
   and no physical input devices.  It emulates a dumb framebuffer using 
   virtual memory.  The primary use of this server is intended to be 
   server testing.  The mfb or cfb code for any depth can be exercised
   with this server without the need for real hardware that supports the
   desired depths.  A secondary use is testing clients against unusual
   depths and screen configurations.
