Xvfb does not start on SLES 10 install
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/, removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
Which all is rather weird, I 've install nearly every possible fonts rpm package. I've ran fonts-config and fc-cache a dozen of times. Added the alias "fixed -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-1" in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
This is a headless server (and is to be kept that way, so no /etc/X11/xorg.conf etc... is installed).

Re: Xvfb does not start on SLES 10 install
Another option would be to start the font server (xfs) and ensure that Xvfb points to it.
You can often get an idea of the necessary options for Xvfb by examining the options on the Xserver that is controlling the desktop.
(ps -ef | grep X)

Re: Xvfb does not start on SLES 10 install
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb exists and has the necessary contents.
Anyhow, the problem was fixed by, yes stupidly enough, installing the fixed fonts. I made the wrong assumption that Novell supplies those obvious & essential fonts, but apparently they don't have the fixed fonts in any package, so I had to pull them of a Debian system.
