XVFB X-Virtual Frame Buffer

The Valspar Corporation — Thu, 01 Nov 2001 14:59:02 GMT

I am trying to find out where to download XVFB for HP-UX 11.x from, and have had no success. Anyone have a URL or FTP info that can get me there? Thanks.

Isn't xvfb implemented as a patch? I'll check but I suspect someone will get there before me! (sloooowww net connection.)

Jim,

Xvfb is now officially supported as an Xserver extension via the latest Xserver patches for 10.20,11.00 and 11.i

it used to be on an external ftp site in depot format, I have copies of these but they would be considered unsupported now. If you require them post your email address but I would advise going the route of the ocfficial patch

One last point the official documentation that comes with the patches isn't too hot ...use the attached instead ;)

Hi,

I have been trying to run the Xserver for Xvfb also, but have had trouble seeing exactly how to do it.

Can I do it as a regular user,
without having to add entries in /etc/X11/ ?

Can you send me a copy of the
additional documentation you mentioned?

Thanks!!!

David

David,

see the attachment (click on the paper clip icon) on my earlier post.

fyi If you implement xvfb via the patch you shouldn't need to worry on a per user basis ....
