Is it possible to install and run X server on a UNIX box ( solaris ) with graphic capabilities i.e no Video card. I am trying to install Oracle8i on a sun box with no video card and not sure if X server is properly installed or not. How do I check for proper installtion of X server in such environment.
When I try to run Oracle installer i get Java runtime errors and null poiner exceptions.

Any ideas ??
