Are you aware that you can have one Desktop PC with installed
Virt-Manager and use it to connect to running libvird (KVM) daemon on your server? I have KVM Guest on my C6 Desktop and use graphical Virt-Manager to setup new Guests. But, from that same Virt-Manager I am connected to my C5 server with C5 KVM Guest, and I can add new systems and manage existing ones.
- Are you talking about actual VGD graphic card on the Barebone server
(KVM Host)? If yes, do you know what type of Graphics card you have? ELRepo repository (www.elrepo.org) has newer drivers for ATI nVidia and Inter graphic cards.

As others have pointed out, a GUI is unnecessary and also a bad idea on a KVM server.
You'll want to have an account remote into the KVM server that isn't root. Use PolicyKit to add a group or user to have rights to control libvirt. Then you can either run virt-manager on a Linux desktop to connect to KVM, or use X11 forwarding via SSH to view the server's virt-manager remotely, which still won't require a desktop environment to be installed. I have the process and details documented here, http://itscblog.tamu.edu/startup-guide-for-kvm-on-centos-6/.
Hope that helps, - Trey
