It is our understanding that Xvfb is more-or-less in maintenance mode, with
the majority of new development (naturally) occurring on the main Xorg
server. Furthermore, I believe there has been discussion of deprecating or
replacing Xvfb, Xnest, et cetera with Xorg using the appropriate driver
(dummy/nested). Is this not correct?

Finally, some of our users have been reporting issues when using Xvfb,
which upon initial investigation seem to be solved by using Xorg+dummy,
instead. (We haven't spent a lot of time investigating the root cause,
here, due to our belief that Xvfb was on the way out.)

Thanks,
Erik
