To be clear, these are the rpm's I have access to:
xorg-x11-libX11-7.4-5.11.11.1
xorg-x11-libX11-devel-7.4-5.11.11.1
xorg-x11-fonts-devel-7.4-1.15
xorg-x11-libfontenc-7.4-1.15
xorg-x11-libfontenc-devel-7.4-1.15
fontconfig-2.6.0-10.17.1
fontconfig-devel-2.6.0-10.17.1
The command I'm attempting to use is:
Xvfb -co /p/home/ggeorge/tmp/usr/share/X11/rgb -fp
/p/home/ggeorge/tmp/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/ -fn lucidasans-bold-18
-fc olcursor +extension RANDR :99&
The error I get is:
error opening security policy file /usr/lib64/xserver/SecurityPolicy
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":99.0".
