That is actually a full x11 environment (even if not a full desktop x11 environment). You can install the regular Xorg server, and use Xorg instead of Xvfb, and that should just work fine. > The other possibility would be setting up a minimal x environment > which I could run rdesktop in.

That can be done indeed, something like 7:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/rdesktop themachine -- vt7 and that will run on VT7. You thus just need the X server from xserver-xorg-core, and startx from the xinit package. Samuel
