What is the lightest virtual X server and how do I install it? I need the simplest/lightest thing available. I just want a virtual X server so I can use Wine for this one task. You can always redirect the display to your PC setting the DISPLAY variable to point to your PC (having it allow remote access by the server). I think that requires some X libs, though. I think it's lighter than installing a full X Server.
