How to run Flex unit tests from the command line on Linux?

Question

I am setting up a FlexBuilder build under Hudson/Jenkins on a Linux system. I want to execute our unit tests, but do it without using the standard GUI-based test runner.

What are my options?

Folks seem to use something called xvfb. I haven't tried this solution myself so I'll just give you the links to the revelant articles I know :
