Hey mythTV users,
I like to make my fileserver also to the backend server for mythTV, the fileserver is running with trustix (www.trustix.org) without a XServer and also without any QT stuff! Is it possible to install just the mythbackend on this server, no use for any frontend stuff there!
You need QT because there is more to QT than graphics. The MythTV classes are based on it. As far as X goes, you might need that because the MythTV setup program needs it, more accurately, you can probably target it at a remote X server but you might need libraries on the backend to execute the program on.

I believe so, yes. You don't need an X server running to run mythbackend; however, you do need the X client runtime libraries, as Qt is linked against them.
If you want to eliminate the need to have the X libraries on your system, you'll need to try building Qt/Embedded. Or, you could wait for Qt 4.0 to be released, which will split out the GUI portions of Qt into their own library.
