Thanks To everyone on my Headless X11 Server ...

Once again this list as savied the day and made a poor
system manager look like a hero :) I'd like to thank
every one that responded to my question about how to
get a X11 Server on a system without having to log in
or actually have the hardware of a keyboard, mouse and
graphics hardware on the system. It turned out to be
very simple as most things are when you know how.
Xvfb! The virtural frame buffer. Now I just have to
convince management that using some pure X11 code is a
good thing. So thanks to every one that responded:
