You need to figure out the package(s) installed depending on X.

Attached is a list of packages that have the string "XFree" or "xorg"
in their requires: line in setup.ini 
Save the list to a file, say, xlist.txt
Then, run the following command to see installed packages depending on
X:

$ cut -d' ' -f1 /etc/setup/installed.db | comm -12 - xlist.txt
