"image rendering" in RevServer?

[Richard Gaskin]

I've seen tutorials for setting up RevServer on Dreamhost, but none for 
using this new undocumented "image rendering" capability.

Since DH uses Debian Server, which is faceless, how can we expect the 
necessary GUI libs to be in place for such rendering?
