Hi Have you tried Xvfb which is a virtual frame buffer ? I have a Tomcat app which also needs access to X for drawing. We simply start an Xvfb instance on a virtual display (:1.0,:2.0, etc) and then use that. We have an xvfb script in init.d for starting which essentially does this.
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1.0 -screen 0 1280x1024x24 -shmem & # Starts a virtual 24 bit device on :1.0 and upon shutdown kill -TERM `cat /tmp/.X1-lock` Xvfb comes shipped with most ofthe Linux distros and is also available if you look around for Solaris and HP-UX.
