Typical Revolution applications work within a window drawn on the screen. These kinds of traditional applications will need to run with the computer logged in. This login requires a video card even if there is no monitor connected. This is true for any OS X computer.
I believe it is possible to write a Revolution application which does not require the GUI but I don't know how to write it. Check out the CGI type applications for unix in the Revolution documentation. There would be a non-GUI deamon running on the server and a separate GUI application which could run either on the server or on a different computer.
In summary: If your application has a GUI, your Xserve will need a video card to run. A monitor is optional.
Hope this helps.

I've been running Metacard/Rev stacks on an Xserve for a couple months now- all works as normal.This is good news.
I heard the same scare of no-graphics-card Xserves a while ago in other forums, but I believe it was just a misinterpretation turned rumor. You won't have any problems running GUI apps on an Xserve.
Just to make sure... Is your Xserve--the one actually running stacks--a no-graphics-card version? Are these full stacks?
