Adding minimal X windows

I built a Fedora 20 system as a server, without a desktop. It turns
out, no X server is installed at all in that case. I'd like to add a
minimal X server without adding a complete desktop environment, so I can
log in remotely and run system configuration tools. The documentation
I've found suggests
yum groupinstall "Basic X Window System"
or
yum groupinstall "X Window System"
but neither of those groups exist. There is a Basic Desktop group, but
it installs a bunch of unnecessary desktop tools.
What's the best way to get just a basic X server in Fedora 20?
TIA.
