  Maybe it could be easier to give a better response if you describe how
you are using Xvfb. But I believe it should not be too much hard to
implement as I guess you just want to send a few events, probably with
something like XSendEvent. Otherwise, you probably would be better with
Kdrive, Xephyr, Xnest, etc, or maybe hacking one of those to map to a
"special" memory device.
  The Xvfb code is basically 1k lines of C source. I suggest checking
how Xnest, as a X client handles events, and replicate appropriatelly
in your Xfvb variant.
