VFX isn't too keen on not having a console...
What I did was to run it through screen :-
screen -dmS vfx vfxlinux
Then you can get to the (unattended) console with:
screen -r vfx
Disconnect with "<ctrl>-a d".
This is handy when talking to a target where you don't have any spare
display capability; this works from any terminal you can attach (e.g. an
SSH session).
