This is simply not true. xterm does not require xorg-server. I know because for years I've been using a setup where the X server and the clients live on different computers. There is certainly no xorg-server installed on the clients computer. So, if the OP says that in his setup xterm requires xorg-server, then something is clearly wrong with that setup and it's a good idea to fix it. This might be but a simptom of a larger problem, who knows. If it were me, I'd certainly want to get to the bottom of this. Anton
