Yes, you can configure master and nodes so that you won't need the Xvfb
plugin. The plugin creates a virtual frame buffer where your Selenium
tests display the web browser while they are running tests. After the
tests are complete, it destroys the virtual frame buffer.
If you don't want to use that plugin, you could perform the creation and
the deletion of the virtual frame buffer yourself. That seems like a lot
of work to me, but it should be possible to provide an environment like the
Xvfb plugin provides.
Windows nodes need to run in a desktop session, or then need to run from a
service that has been granted desktop access.
