How can I "tee" an X program identically to several displays? See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Applications often have a need to run against an X display which isn't tied to a physical display -- perhaps to make a screendump, or to run when the software expects to have an open display. In these cases, the X Virtual Frame Buffer can be used. It is a full X server which doesn't open any devices (the output can be a memory-mapped file) but which otherwise behaves as an X display. It is also useful for testing. The Xvfb is part of the X11R6 distribution, in programs/Xserver; set the configuration option in config/{machine}.cf to build the distribution with this server.
