Sorry if I seem a bit dumb in this question, but are these virtual servers going to be used in a production environment or are they test servers? Also, in my experience, using a GUI on a server is not really necessary, as everything can be done from the command line. Yes it may be easier to do it

The thread is about an issue of not being able to bring up simple guis required to install virt guests on centos 6. Apparently a bug exists in xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-6.el6-x86_64 the driver for the ati es1000 and how it deals with xorg. Ubuntu I think has popped in a fix as well as many others.
