Off-screen Graphics

2001-05-05 Thread Robbie Baldock
Can anyone confirm whether the Linux port of JDK 1.3 requires a virtual X server (eg: Xvfb) to be running before being able to draw off- screen graphics with a BufferedImage? Older versions certainly needed this but I'm hoping the answer to this is now "no"... Robbie --
