[Mono-list] Mono requres X server on Linux?

[Brooke Wallace]

Hi,

We are porting a .NET app to Linux via Mono. I'm finding that even though our application does not display any graphics, unless the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly set, the application generates an X server related error message.  This is a command line application that's just parsing XML files and generating a new set of files.

Does Mono inherently require an X server to connect to?

Is there an option to disable this requirement?

Are there any graphic libraries/functions that we should avoid so that our app doesn't try to connect to an X server?
