For a quick n dirty way to get this working, you can use VNC as your 'Virtual Display' instead of Xvfb which likely requires the rest of X Windows to function.
Obtain VNC from the vnc site - http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ run vncserver - it's probably a good idea to use the '-depth 16' flag or you will get the default 8-bit framebuffer, and then set your DISPLAY variable to be your VNC framebuffer. i.e. if VNCServer tells you your display is computer:0 then you need to do: 'export DISPLAY=:0', or 'setenv DISPLAY :0', depending on your shell. You can even use the VNC/X server of a different machine to render the graphics e.g. export 'DISPLAY=remotepc:0', but obviously this will be slower as all graphics calls get sent across the network. I personlly use Xvfb for my Tomcat-based dynamic GIFs, but VNC works fine as well.
