Ciao Bertrand,
GeoServer should work just fine even without a video card and there
should not be any visible performance difference. GeoServer does not
make use of VolatileImages and also I don't even think we are using
Managed Images too much since we play around with the BufferedImage we
draw into quite a lot, therefore we might loose hw acceleration on
them. Anyway, it's transparently managed by the JVM therefore, who
knows :-).
Anyway, best thing is to try and report your experience.
Ciao,
Simone.

Hello,
We are considering using Geoserver on our projet and I need to
know if Geoserver needs a video card in production.
That may seem a silly question, but some GIS product uses graphic
libraries that require a GPU, and thus a video card built in the
production server (even a "emulated video card" - virtual framebuffer).
So, I need to know if this is the case for geoserver : can geoserver be
installed on a server without any GPU (emulated or not) ?
If it's possible, is there any consequence on the performance of
the map rendering ?
Cheers,
Bertrand.
