I'll check it out. Docs seem to indicate it is for FICS and near derivatives only:

You know there is a way to run xboard on a machine that does not have X installed? I don't remember the procedure any longer, but someone pointed it out to me many years ago when I was starting our cluster stuff, and did not want to use remote X with 256 cores running at the same time, it added ridiculous network traffic and blocking issues that were terrible. The "x-less approach" worked just fine, you still run xboard, but the display goes into never-never-land somewhere and is never rendered anywhere, yet xboard thinks all is well...

Don't you just add /nogui to the command line?

Perhaps for very new versions, I don't know. But you can actually run any X application without an X server running using the trick I mentioned, although there is not much practical use other than something like xboard...
