I was able to solve the ProjectX display problem with Xvfb and now I do 
not have to start X :)  I just created an init.d script and have the 
following:

Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x16 &

Next I went through all the *.sh files in vdrconvert and changed the 
following lines:

export DISPLAY=:1.0

to

export DISPLAY=:0.0


Thanks to everyone for their help on this one..
