The XSun server won't start up if you have no Frame Buffer (Video Card)
installed.
To run any X clients on the Sunfire (like the Oracle install client) you
will have to have Openwindows installed on the machine.
Check for the existence of the /usr/openwin directory. The associated
libraries are required by X clients.
AFAIK VNC is a Windows emulator, rather than an X-Server emulator. You need
to install
an X-server emulator on at remote machine like a PC. Exceed is a commercial
product, or one of the freeware
equivalents (doing a Google search will surely find you one).
Conversely if you have another Sun box with a Frame Buffer (Video Card) you
could use the X-Server on this machine. Just type
xhost + <hostname of v480> on the a command line prompt of the local
machine.
In either case you must set your DISPLAY environment variable on the Sunfire
to point to the remote machine running the X-Server.
