sorry, I wasn't clear.

I have 2 FBSD boxes: a server with no graphics card (S) and a laptop (L).
I want to run X applications on S and see the results on L.
The applications I run on S are typically xpdf, gs, xfig, display,
firefox, etc.

While I could install ports/xorg on both boxes, this is probably
excessive. Since I won't run any xorg applications on L, I probably
don't need xorg-apps on L. Likewise, since I'm not running xorg server
on S, I probably don't need xorg-server on S. This is my basic
understanding of xorg server-clients model. Is this logic correct?

However, I'm not sure on what box (S, L or both) I need:
	xorg-libraries
	xorg-fonts
	xorg-drivers
	xorg-protos

	etc.

many thanks
anton
