Compiling reports with Oracle Forms&Reports requires to have a $DISPLAY even 
if the compilation is done in batch, non-interactively.  I don't know of any 
other method that does not require a $DISPLAY.  Forms can be compiled without 
it (usingfrmcmp_batch.sh) , but for reports there doesn't appear to be an 
equivalent.

In SLES9, I had an workaround--ancient wisdom passed on by means of 
copy&paste.

I would put this in /etc/init.d/boot.local:

/usr/bin/X11/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x24 &
/usr/X11R6/bin/mwm -s -display localhost:1 &

Well. in SLES10, this doesn't work anymore because KDM starts by default in 
Xvfb.

What can it be done to either:
1. prevent KDM from starting in that Xvfb
2. start Xvfb with some black magic parameter that will keep it from starting 
KDM

Thanks.
