Hi Luc, A graphics card isn't required, but an OpenGL graphics context is currently used to create GL compressed mipmapped images in the default build configuration. If you don't output to a GL compressed image or mipmapping format then you don't need GL at all.
VPB does of course use OSG which of course using GL so you'll need it anyway. A software rendering such as Mesa will do though so you could try using this on your cluster. Robert.
