Have you considered using xvfb and vnc to it, or you absolutely have
to do it on a real display?<br>

<p>For a project I'm working on at the moment, I need to be able
to log in remotely to a machine (via ssh) and start a blank
x-server. That is, to just initialize the display, with not
cursor or window manager, to allow for creating a single full
screen window for display.<br>
I seem to recall that just running X as a user used to do it, up
to the no cursor part, leaving an empty (hetched) screen and
running the content of .xsession or something like that.<br>
Things on modern systems seems to have changed enough with all
the xsession / gdm / gnome etc. that it doesn't seem to happen
properly.</p>
<p>Any idea how I can achieve that on a modern system (red hat
enterprise desktop 6 in this case).</p>
<p>thanks<br>
